Gates 03-08 Toyota Corolla 4-Cyl. 1.8L Throttle Body To Intake Manifold Molded Heater Hose

This is the Gates 18219 molded heater hose, specifically designed to connect your throttle body to the intake manifold on a variety of vehicles. It's a crucial part of your car's heating system, allowing coolant to flow through to warm the throttle body and prevent issues in colder weather, like icing. This hose is built to handle the heat and pressure from the engine's cooling system.

Gates uses a well-built EPDM rubber compound for this hose, which is known for its resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant degradation. This means it's going to last a long time under the hood, even with constant exposure to engine temperatures and fluids. The molded shape ensures it fits precisely where it needs to go, making installation straightforward without needing to fight a stiff, universal hose. It's a popular choice for many import vehicles, including models like the Toyota Corolla, Pontiac Vibe, and Audi A6.
