It is shaped to follow the original hose path and includes integrated modular features that mirror the OE layout, including a branch and a female quick connector.

What It Helps Address

• Coolant leaks from a cracked or aged upper radiator hose
• Softening, swelling, or collapse of the original hose
• Loss of proper hose routing after a failed molded hose
• Fitment issues when the original hose uses integrated connectors or branches
• Cooling system service on Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, and Bora models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose routing, connector style, and end diameters before installation. This hose is a molded, modular design with one quick-connect fitting, so the original OE-style connection points should be matched carefully during replacement. Confirm upper-hose placement and vehicle build details, especially for 2007 Volkswagen Jetta and 2007 Volkswagen Bora models with notes indicating Dec. 1, 2006 and newer.
