Continental 60117 Engine Coolant Bypass Hose

Continental 60117 Engine Coolant Bypass Hose

Continental 60117 is a molded engine coolant bypass hose built for glycol-based coolant flow in the vehicle cooling system. Its exact OEM configuration supports a precise replacement for applications that require a 1.750-inch inside diameter and an 8.000-inch length.

Key Features

• Engine coolant bypass hose for coolant transfer in the cooling circuit
• EPDM tube and cover with synthetic reinforcement
• Meets or exceeds SAE 20R4EC Class D1 specifications
• Exact OEM-shaped design for proper routing and fit
• 1.750 in. hose inside diameter at both ends
• 8.000 in. hose length

Product Details

This Continental molded hose is engineered for direct replacement use where the original bypass hose follows an OEM contour. The EPDM construction and synthetic reinforcement are specified to handle coolant service in the engine bay, while the molded shape helps maintain the factory routing needed for reliable fitment. Continental 60117 is a practical choice for owners servicing cooling system hose connections on vehicles such as the 2000-2002 Jaguar XKR, the 1975-1978 BMW 530i, and the 1971 Chevrolet Corvette.

This part cross-references Dayco 70192 and Edelmann 80047 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Coolant seepage at a worn bypass hose
• Cracking or hardening from heat and age
• Improper hose routing caused by a distorted original hose
• Loss of coolant flow through the bypass circuit
• Fitment issues when replacing a molded OEM hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose path, end diameters, and molded shape against the original part before installation. Confirm the application matches the thermostat-to-intake-manifold routing on the 2000-2002 Jaguar XKR, or the listed lower hose application on the 1971 Chevrolet Corvette, before removing the old hose. Inspect adjoining fittings and clamps for wear, corrosion, or residue that could affect sealing.

Quality Assurance

Continental specifies EPDM tube and cover construction with synthetic reinforcement, and the hose meets or exceeds SAE 20R4EC Class D1 requirements. The molded OEM-style configuration is intended to support accurate replacement fitment for the listed vehicle applications.
