What is the main function of this heater hose?

This hose is part of your vehicle's heating system. It carries hot coolant from the engine's thermostat housing to the heater core located inside your cabin, allowing the blower fan to warm the air you feel.

Does this hose come with clamps?

This Gates heater hose part number 19061 does not include installation clamps. You will need to reuse your original clamps or purchase new ones separately to secure the hose.

How do I know if my heater hose needs replacing?

Common signs include a lack of heat in the cabin, visible leaks or puddles under the vehicle (often with a sweet smell), or a damp passenger-side floor mat. You may also notice the hose feeling unusually soft, brittle, or swollen.

Product Details

When your 1998-2000 Ford Contour's heater isn't blowing warm air, a cracked or leaking heater hose is often the culprit. This molded heater hose from Gates is specifically designed to replace the original hose that runs from the thermostat housing to the heater core on 2.0L 4-cylinder models. It's built to handle the constant cycling of hot coolant, keeping your cabin comfortable during colder months.

Gates uses a durable rubber compound that resists degradation from heat and coolant chemicals. This hose is molded to the exact shape needed for a straightforward installation, meaning you won't have to fight with a stiff, universal hose that doesn't quite bend right. Getting the correct shape helps ensure a snug fit and prevents kinks that could restrict coolant flow, which is crucial for effective cabin heating.

Replacing a heater hose is a common maintenance task. Having the right part, like this molded hose from Gates, makes the job much easier and helps ensure your heating system works reliably again.
