  • Molded upper radiator coolant hose for precise routing
  • Hose 1 inside diameter: 1.250 in.
  • Hose 1 length: 17.170 in.
  • End 2 hose inside diameter: 1.440 in.
  • EPDM tube and cover with synthetic reinforcement
  • Built to transfer glycol-based coolant through the cooling system
  • Exact OEM configuration for fitment accuracy

Product Details

This Continental molded hose is engineered for cooling-system service on 2001-2002 Ford Taurus, upper; 2001-2002 Mercury Sable, upper; and 2001 Ford Sable, upper. The molded shape helps maintain factory hose routing, while the EPDM construction is selected for coolant exposure and underhood heat. Continental 66558 is a direct replacement choice when you need the correct upper radiator coolant hose dimensions and OE-style configuration for these vehicles. This part cross-references Dayco 72167 and Gates 22729 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

  • Cracked or hardened upper radiator hose material
  • Coolant leaks at the hose body or connection points
  • Incorrect hose routing from a previous replacement
  • Softening or swelling from age and heat cycling
  • Cooling-system service on a worn Ford Taurus or Mercury Sable hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose routing, inside diameters, and molded shape against the original part before installation. Inspect clamps, necks, and adjoining cooling-system components for wear or corrosion, and replace any damaged parts as needed. After installation, refill the cooling system with the correct glycol-based coolant and check for leaks at operating temperature.

Quality Assurance

Continental 66558 is manufactured to meet or exceed SAE 20R4EC Class D1 specifications and is built to OE configuration standards for fit and function.
