Continental 66264 Radiator Coolant Hose - Upper

Radiator Coolant Hose for Suzuki SX4

Continental 66264 is a molded radiator coolant hose built for the upper cooling circuit on select Suzuki SX4 models. It is formed to match the original routing and dimensions, helping maintain proper coolant flow through the vehicle’s cooling system.

With a 1.310-inch inside diameter at both ends and a 15.710-inch hose length, this hose is sized for a direct OE-style replacement on 2007-2013 Suzuki SX4 upper hose applications. Continental 66264 is a practical choice when replacing a worn, swollen, or leaking coolant hose on the Suzuki SX4.

Product Details

Continental’s Molded line focuses on OE-style hose construction and fit. For this application, the molded shape and matched dimensions help the hose follow the factory cooling-system layout on the Suzuki SX4, reducing the need for modification during replacement. The EPDM construction and synthetic reinforcement are specified for glycol-based coolant service and for use in the vehicle’s radiator and engine cooling circuit.

This part cross-references Gates 23353 for the same application. Continental 66264 also aligns with Suzuki SX4 upper radiator hose replacement needs across 2007-2013 model years.

Common Cooling System Issues

• Coolant leaks from a cracked or aged upper radiator hose
• Softening, swelling, or collapse of the hose under heat and pressure
• Restricted coolant circulation caused by internal hose deterioration
• Improper fit from a non-molded replacement hose
• Cooling-system service on a 2007-2013 Suzuki SX4

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2007-2013 Suzuki SX4, upper. Verify hose routing, end diameters, and connection points against the original hose before installation. Inspect clamps, thermostat housing connections, and adjoining coolant components for wear or corrosion so the replacement hose can seal correctly and maintain stable coolant flow.

Quality Assurance

Continental specifies EPDM tube and cover materials with synthetic reinforcement for this hose, and the construction meets or exceeds SAE 20R4EC Class D1 requirements. The molded OEM configuration is intended to match factory fit and cooling-system geometry for the listed Suzuki SX4 applications.
