Gates 98-02 Ford Escort 4-Cyl. 2.0L Heater To Water Pump Molded Coolant Hose

When your 1998-2002 Ford Escort's heater isn't blowing warm air, a cracked or leaking heater hose is often the culprit. This molded coolant hose from Gates is specifically designed to replace the original hose that runs from the heater core to the water pump on 4-cylinder, 2.0L models.

Gates uses a durable rubber compound that resists heat and coolant degradation, so you can expect it to hold up over time. The molded shape means it follows the factory routing precisely, making installation straightforward. This hose is built to handle the pressure and temperature cycles of your cooling system, ensuring that warm coolant can reach your heater core to keep you comfortable on cold days.

Replacing a heater hose is a job that can often be done without special tools, but it's a good idea to have some rags handy for any residual coolant. Make sure to check the condition of your heater core and water pump while you're in there.
