What is the primary material used for this coolant hose?

This coolant hose is constructed from heat-resistant EPDM rubber. This material is chosen for its ability to withstand the high temperatures and pressure cycles within a vehicle's cooling system.

Why is the molded shape important for this hose?

The molded shape ensures the hose follows the exact factory routing. This makes installation easier and prevents kinks or restrictions in coolant flow, which is crucial for maintaining proper engine temperature.

Should I replace both the upper and lower radiator hoses at the same time?

It's generally a good idea to inspect and consider replacing both upper and lower radiator hoses during the same service. If one hose is failing due to age, the other is likely experiencing similar wear and could fail soon after.

Product Details

When you're tackling a cooling system service on your 2013-2016 Ford Fusion with the 2.0L engine, a cracked or leaking lower radiator hose can really put a wrench in your plans. This molded coolant hose from Gates is built to replace the original hose, ensuring coolant flows correctly between your engine and the radiator.

Gates uses a heat-resistant EPDM rubber construction for this hose, similar to what came from the factory. This material is chosen because it can handle the constant temperature fluctuations and pressure found in your cooling system without degrading quickly. The molded shape means it follows the exact routing of your original hose, making installation straightforward without needing to bend or force it into place. This is important because a hose that doesn't fit right can kink, restricting flow and potentially causing overheating issues.

Replacing your coolant hoses is a smart preventative maintenance step, especially if your original hoses are showing signs of age like cracking, swelling, or stiffness. This Gates hose is designed to fit right and get your Fusion back to proper operating temperature.
