What is the main function of the upper radiator hose?

The upper radiator hose carries hot coolant from the engine to the radiator. The radiator then cools the fluid before it circulates back to the engine, helping to maintain the optimal operating temperature.

What material is this Gates coolant hose made from?

This Gates coolant hose is constructed from a heat-resistant rubber compound. This material is chosen to withstand the high temperatures and pressures found within a vehicle's cooling system.

Should I replace anything else when I replace the upper radiator hose?

It's a good practice to inspect your lower radiator hose and heater hoses at the same time. If they show signs of wear, cracking, or swelling, it's often best to replace them as well to prevent future issues.

Product Details

When it's time to replace the upper radiator hose on your 2007 or 2008 Honda Fit, a direct-fit molded hose from Gates is a solid choice. This hose carries coolant from the engine to the radiator, playing a key role in preventing your 1.5L engine from overheating. Over time, rubber hoses can become brittle, crack, or develop leaks, especially under the heat and pressure cycles of normal operation.

Gates uses a strong, heat-resistant rubber compound for this hose, similar to what's used on original equipment. It's molded to the exact shape needed for your Fit, ensuring it bends and fits correctly without kinking or straining. Proper fitment is important because a hose that's stressed can fail prematurely. This hose is built to handle the temperatures and pressures found in your cooling system.

Replacing a coolant hose is a straightforward job for most DIYers, often just requiring a screwdriver or pliers to loosen the clamps. It's a good idea to inspect your lower radiator hose and heater hoses at the same time, as they can wear out too.
