Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, make, model, and hose position before ordering. Match the molded shape and the listed inside diameters to the original hose, especially on cut-to-fit applications such as the Toyota Celica, Geo Prizm, and Toyota Corolla listings. Inspect adjoining fittings, clamps, and coolant condition during replacement, and confirm the hose is routed without twist or tension after installation.
