• Incorrect hose fitment after prior replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify end diameters and centerline length against the removed hose before installation. Confirm whether the vehicle uses an upper or lower hose position, since fitment varies by application. Inspect clamps, necks, and adjoining coolant components for wear before installing the new hose. After installation, refill the cooling system with the correct coolant and check for leaks at operating temperature.
