What is the primary function of the upper coolant hose?

The upper coolant hose carries hot coolant from the engine's thermostat housing to the radiator. It's a key component in circulating coolant to dissipate heat and prevent your engine from overheating.

What material is this hose made from?

This hose is constructed from EPDM rubber, which is known for its resistance to heat, coolant, and ozone, making it suitable for the under-hood environment.

Does this hose come with clamps?

This part includes the molded coolant hose only. You will need to reuse your existing hose clamps or purchase new ones separately.

Product Details

This is the upper molded coolant hose from Gates, designed specifically for 2016 through 2020 Kia Sorento models equipped with the V6 3.3L engine. This hose is a crucial part of your vehicle's cooling system, carrying coolant from the engine to the radiator to help keep your engine from overheating. Over time, these hoses can become brittle, crack, or leak, especially under the heat and pressure of normal engine operation. Replacing a worn hose with a well-built part like this Gates hose helps ensure your cooling system functions as it should.

Gates uses a strong, EPDM rubber compound for the inner tube and cover, which is resistant to heat, coolant, and ozone. This construction helps the hose stand up to the demanding environment under the hood. The molded shape means it's built to fit the specific routing and bends required for your Sorento, making installation more straightforward than trying to bend and fit a universal hose. This hose is designed to handle the pressures and temperatures typical for your V6 engine.
