Gates 12-18 Chevrolet Sonic 4-Cyl. 1.8L Upper Molded Coolant Hose

When your 2012-2016 Chevrolet Sonic's 1.8L engine is running hot, a cracked or leaking upper radiator hose can be the culprit. This molded coolant hose from Gates is built to replace the original part, ensuring coolant flows correctly between your engine and the radiator to keep things at the right temperature.

Gates uses a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound for the inner tube and cover, which is reinforced with high-strength synthetic cords. This construction helps the hose withstand the constant pressure and temperature fluctuations it faces under the hood. It's molded to the specific shape needed for your Sonic, so it fits right without a struggle, making installation straightforward.

Replacing a coolant hose is a common maintenance task. Make sure to check your system for any other signs of wear while you're in there, like the thermostat or other hoses, to keep your Sonic running smoothly.
