Gates 05-14 Volkswagen Jetta 5-Cyl. 2.5L Thermostat To Oil Cooler Molded Heater Hose

This Gates molded heater hose is built with EPDM rubber, known for its resistance to heat and coolant degradation. It specifically connects your thermostat housing to the oil cooler on 5-cylinder 2.5L Volkswagen Jetta models from 2005 to 2014. A failing heater hose can lead to coolant leaks, causing your engine to overheat and potentially leaving you stranded.

Gates uses a construction that helps this hose withstand the constant flexing and temperature changes it experiences under the hood. This means it's less likely to crack or split prematurely compared to a generic hose. It's designed to fit right into the factory routing, making the replacement process straightforward for a mechanic.

When replacing heater hoses, it's a good idea to inspect all other cooling system components, like the radiator and water pump, to ensure everything is in good working order.
