    Gates 18396 cooling system components for the 2003-2007 Honda Accord 3.0L and other vehicles come as a molded heater hose that runs from pipe-1 to the thermostat.

    • Factory-molded, OEM style hose that fits smaller, tighter-fitting engine compartments
    • Used for coolant, water and air applications, and also approved for marine applications
    • Engineered to resist electrochemical degradation, the leading cause of hose failure
    • EPDM tube, synthetic fiber knit reinforcement and EPDM cover
    • Meets SAE 20R3 Type EC Class D-1 and D-2 specifications
    • Temperature range: -40 °F to 275 °F (-40 °C to 135 °C)

    A loose clamp, a leaking thermostat housing or a failing heater core can be behind coolant loss too, so find the cause before buying a new hose. A hose that is cracked, soft, swollen or weeping coolant may be due for replacement.

    It also fits the 2004-2006 Acura TL 3.2L.
