The molded profile helps maintain the correct path in tighter spaces, which is especially relevant for 2013-2016 Honda Accord models with CVT transmission notes at the transmission oil cooler inlet. This Gates molded heater hose is also identified for radiator coolant hose service in that application, making it a practical replacement when the original hose has aged, softened, or developed leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Gates Molded Heater Hose product line focuses on factory-shaped hoses for modern vehicles with limited clearance. For Honda Accord owners searching for a molded heater hose, coolant hose, or transmission oil cooler inlet hose, part number 12158 provides the specified 0.5-inch ends and 11.87-inch centerline length needed for the listed fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part cross-references Carlson 13158 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUsed For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoolant seepage at a molded hose section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCracking, hardening, or swelling in the original hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorrect hose routing in a tight engine compartment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement of a worn radiator coolant hose on select Honda Accord models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eService at the transmission oil cooler inlet on listed vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify hose routing, end size, and centerline length before installation.
