Gates 22344 upper cooling system components for the 2000-2003 Chevrolet Impala and other vehicles are a molded radiator coolant hose that carries engine coolant.
- Specifically engineered materials resist collapse under vacuum
- Engineered to resist electrochemical degradation, the leading cause of hose failure
- Pre-shaped to fit and to seal well
- Meets SAE 20R4, class D2 and DIN 73411, class A (except for tolerances)
A coolant leak, visible cracks or swelling on a cool engine, or an engine that overheats can all mean a hose is wearing out. A leaking radiator, a sticking thermostat, a weak radiator cap or a failing water pump can cause overheating too, so find the cause before you buy a hose.
The vehicles it fits include the 1997-2005 Buick Century and the 1997-2004 Buick Regal, plus many others. If your car isn't named here, search for it and its engine in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
