Gates 09-12 Ford Escape 4-Cyl. 2.5L Electric Assist Heater To Eng. Molded Heater Hose

When your 2009-2012 Ford Escape 4-Cyl. 2.5L is running cold, a faulty heater hose can be the culprit. This molded heater hose from Gates is specifically made to connect your electric assist heater system to the engine, ensuring that warm coolant can circulate and heat your cabin. A cracked or leaking hose won't just leave you shivering; it can also lead to coolant loss, which can cause your engine to overheat.

Gates uses a well-built EPDM rubber construction for this hose, which is resistant to the heat and degradation caused by engine coolant. Its molded shape means it follows the factory routing precisely, making installation straightforward without needing to bend or force a universal hose. This direct-fit design helps ensure there are no kinks or stress points that could lead to premature failure.

This hose is designed to be a direct replacement for your original equipment part. Make sure to check your vehicle's service manual for any specific installation instructions or additional components you might need when replacing your heater hose.
