Gates 02-05 Volkswagen Passat V-6 2.8L Lower Molded Coolant Hose

This is a Gates lower molded coolant hose specifically for the 2002-2005 Volkswagen Passat equipped with the V-6 2.8L engine. Coolant hoses are critical for keeping your engine running at the right temperature, and this hose is designed to replace the original part, ensuring a proper fit and function.

Gates uses a well-built EPDM rubber compound for this hose, which is known for its resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant degradation. This helps the hose last longer and maintain its integrity under the demanding conditions found in the engine bay. The molded shape means it follows the exact routing of your factory hose, making installation straightforward without needing to bend or force a universal hose into place.

When you're replacing a coolant hose, it's a good idea to inspect other cooling system components, like the radiator and thermostat, to ensure everything is in good working order.
