Product Details

Gates Molded Heater Hose line products are built around factory-style hose geometry for vehicles with tighter packaging around the engine. This Gates 12061 hose follows the original molded shape and dimensions needed for the water outlet to pipe routing on select Ford Focus and Ford EcoSport applications.

This part cross-references TYC 13061 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address
