Gates 08-12 Honda Accord V-6 3.5L Lower Molded Coolant Hose

When it's time to replace a cracked or leaking lower radiator hose on your 2010-2014 Acura TSX with the V-6 3.5L engine, a direct-fit molded hose like this one from Gates makes the job straightforward. This hose is shaped specifically to follow the contours of your engine bay, ensuring it connects properly between the radiator and the engine without any kinks or stress.

Gates uses a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound for the inner tube, which can handle the high temperatures found in your cooling system. The outer cover is also designed to resist abrasion and the effects of engine oil and coolant, common culprits for hose degradation over time. This well-built hose is constructed with reinforcement layers to help it maintain its shape and prevent collapse under vacuum, ensuring consistent coolant flow.

Replacing a coolant hose is a good time to inspect other cooling system components, like your radiator and thermostat, to make sure everything is in good working order.
