Product Details

The Gates Molded Coolant Hose product line reflects Gates’ focus on thermal management for today’s higher-efficiency vehicles. Part number 65011 is engineered as a molded plastic coolant hose with application-specific routing and connector geometry, helping maintain proper coolant movement through the HVAC and cooling circuit. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Compatible with 2017-2021 Tesla 3, pump near chiller to tunnel. If you are servicing a Tesla Model 3 coolant line in this location, Gates 65011 provides the correct molded hose profile and connector style for the application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Cracked or aged coolant hose material
• Leaks at the hose connection point
• Incorrect hose routing in the thermal management circuit
• Restricted coolant flow from a damaged molded hose
• Service replacement for a worn Tesla Model 3 pump-near-chiller-to-tunnel hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose routing, connector style, and end diameters before installation. Confirm the vehicle is a 2017-2021 Tesla 3 and match the pump near chiller to tunnel location to the original hose path. Inspect mating surfaces and adjacent cooling components for wear, contamination, or damage before connecting the new hose.

Quality Assurance

Gates has more than 75 years of experience in automotive hose and thermal management solutions. The 65011 molded coolant hose is part of that OE and aftermarket heritage, with materials and geometry selected to support reliable thermal system service in Tesla Model 3 applications.
