What It Helps Fix

• Cracked or split upper radiator hose
• Coolant leaks at the hose body or ends
• Collapsed or softened hose material
• Poor hose routing after a failed replacement
• Cooling system service on a 2001-2002 Acura MDX or 2003-2005 Honda Pilot

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose shape, end diameters, and centerline length against the original part before installation. Inspect the mating necks, clamps, and nearby cooling system components for wear or corrosion, and replace any damaged hardware as needed. Confirm the hose is routed without twist or tension so the molded shape matches the factory path.
