Gates 17-20 Ford Escape 4-Cyl. 2.0L Upper Molded Coolant Hose

This is the upper radiator hose for your 2017-2020 Ford Escape with the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. It's the hose that connects the engine's thermostat housing to the top of the radiator, carrying hot coolant to be cooled. When this hose starts to fail, you might notice leaks around the engine or radiator, or even see the temperature gauge climbing too high.

Gates makes this hose from a well-built EPDM rubber compound, which is known for its resistance to heat and coolant chemicals. It's molded to the specific shape your Escape needs, so it fits right without any fuss. This means you won't have to fight with it during installation, and it'll seal up properly to prevent any coolant loss. Replacing a cracked or swollen hose is important to keep your engine running at the right temperature and avoid more serious damage.
