Product Details

This Gates Molded Coolant Hose line is engineered for common cooling-system service points such as upper, lower, bypass, and heater hose applications. Part number 22865 is shaped to follow the original hose path, helping maintain proper coolant flow and a clean installation on the 1996-1998 Mazda MPV, upper radiator hose location. The molded design and EPDM material support a factory-style replacement for vehicles that need a formed hose rather than a universal cut-to-fit part. This part cross-references Four Seasons 66571 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Cracked or hardened upper radiator hose
• Coolant seepage at the hose body
• Loss of hose shape from heat and age
• Improper fit from a straight universal hose
• Cooling-system service on a 1996-1998 Mazda MPV

Installation Notes

Verify hose routing, end diameters, and centerline length before installation. Inspect the mating necks, clamps, and nearby cooling-system components for wear or corrosion before reassembly. Confirm the hose is positioned as the original upper hose on the Mazda MPV to avoid kinks or tension in the line.
