Gates 95-98 Toyota Tercel 4-Cyl. 1.5L Upper Molded Coolant Hose

This Gates molded coolant hose is built specifically for the 1995-1998 Toyota Tercel with the 1.5L 4-cylinder engine. It's designed to replace your original upper radiator hose, which is crucial for circulating coolant and keeping your engine from overheating. Over time, rubber hoses can become brittle, crack, or swell, leading to leaks and potential engine damage. This hose is made from a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound, which is a standard material for coolant hoses because it holds up well to the high temperatures and harsh conditions found under the hood.

Gates uses a reinforced construction with polyester cord to give this hose its shape and strength. This means it won't collapse under vacuum or bulge under pressure, ensuring consistent coolant flow. The molded design means it has the specific bends and curves needed to fit your Tercel without any awkward kinks or stretching, making installation straightforward. Replacing a worn-out hose with a well-built part like this is a smart move to prevent roadside breakdowns and keep your engine running smoothly.
