Product Details
Gates Molded Heater Hose line products are built for vehicles that require formed hose routing rather than straight universal tubing. This Gates 52036 hose follows the original-style bend pattern needed in tighter spaces, helping maintain proper hose alignment in the Tesla S cooling system. If you are replacing a molded heater hose on a 2012-2016 Tesla S, this part number is a direct reference for the pipe to right tunnel front connector position.
This part cross-references Four Seasons 45044 for the same application.
Common Repair Uses
- Replacing a cracked or heat-aged molded heater hose
- Restoring coolant flow in the Tesla S heater circuit
- Correcting hose routing issues in a tight tunnel connector location
- Addressing leaks at a formed hose connection point
- Servicing a worn OEM-style coolant hose assembly
Installation Notes
Verify the hose routing, connector location, and inside diameter before installation. The molded shape is important for proper clearance in the Tesla S pipe to right tunnel front connector area, so compare the existing hose path to the Gates 52036 profile before final fitment. Confirm that the hose ends seat fully and that clamps and mating surfaces are clean and undamaged.
