Gates 2013 Nissan Sentra 4-Cyl. 1.8L Upper - Rad. To Filler Neck Molded Coolant Hose

This is the upper radiator hose for your 2013 Nissan Sentra with the 1.8L 4-cylinder engine. It connects the radiator to the filler neck, carrying coolant to keep your engine from overheating. If your old hose is cracked, swollen, or leaking, replacing it with a new one is a straightforward way to prevent a breakdown.

Gates makes this hose from a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound, which is pretty standard for coolant hoses because it holds up well to the high temperatures and pressures found in the cooling system. It's molded to the specific shape needed for your Sentra, so it should fit right without any fuss. This means you won't have to fight with it during installation, and it'll sit correctly to avoid rubbing against other engine components.

When you're replacing a coolant hose, it's a good idea to check the condition of the clamps too. Sometimes they can corrode or lose their tension, and you don't want a new hose to leak because of an old clamp. Make sure you have a good set of hose clamps ready before you start the job.
