Gates 2012 Honda Civic 4-Cyl. 1.5L Electric Assist Upper Molded Coolant Hose

When you're replacing the upper coolant hose on your 2013 Acura ILX with the 1.5L electric assist engine, you need a hose that's built to handle the job. This molded coolant hose from Gates is designed to fit right and keep your cooling system working properly.

Gates uses a strong, heat-resistant rubber compound for these hoses, which is important because the upper hose is located near the engine where temperatures can get pretty high. The molded shape means it follows the factory routing precisely, making installation straightforward without any awkward bending or kinking that could restrict coolant flow. This helps ensure your engine stays at the right temperature, preventing overheating issues.

This hose is specifically made for the electric assist cooling system, so it's the right choice for your ILX. Make sure to check your system for any other signs of wear while you're in there, like the thermostat or radiator cap.
