Product Details

This is a Gates molded heater inlet hose, part number 18898, designed for specific 4-cylinder 2.4L engines. It connects your engine's heater core to the cooling system, allowing hot coolant to flow through and provide cabin heat. If your old hose is cracked, leaking, or collapsing, replacing it with this direct-fit part will restore proper heating function to your vehicle.

Gates uses a well-built EPDM rubber compound for the hose construction, which is resistant to heat and coolant degradation. This helps ensure a long service life and prevents premature failure. The molded shape is specific to the applications listed, meaning it follows the factory routing to avoid kinking or rubbing against other components, which is crucial for maintaining proper coolant flow and preventing leaks.

This hose is designed to fit a range of vehicles, including models like the Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Stratus, and Mitsubishi Eclipse from the early 2000s. Always check the fitment guide to confirm compatibility with your specific year, make, and model before purchasing.
