Product Details

Gates Molded Coolant Hose products are built for upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant routing needs using OEM-quality specifications. This Gates 23713 hose follows that product-line approach with a molded profile and dimensions that match the intended cooling system layout. It is a direct-fit radiator coolant hose for 2010-2013 Hyundai Tucson, upper, and 2011-2013 Kia Sportage, upper. If you are replacing a worn upper hose on a Hyundai Tucson or Kia Sportage, Gates 23713 provides the correct molded shape for the application.

This part cross-references Continental 66603 and Dayco 72535 for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Cracked or hardened upper radiator hose
• Coolant seepage at the hose body or ends
• Soft spots, swelling, or hose collapse
• Incorrect routing from a previous repair
• Overheating caused by restricted coolant flow

Installation Notes

Verify hose routing, end diameters, and centerline length before installation. Inspect clamps, necks, and adjoining cooling system components for wear or corrosion, and replace any damaged mating surfaces before installing the new hose. Confirm the hose is seated fully and routed without kinks or twist.
