Gates 99-03 Volkswagen Jetta V-6 2.8L Tee-9 To Tee-8 Molded Heater Hose

This Gates molded heater hose is specifically shaped to connect the Tee-9 fitting to the Tee-8 fitting on your 1999-2003 Volkswagen Golf with the V-6 2.8L engine. Because it's a molded hose, it follows the exact path needed to avoid kinking or rubbing, which is crucial for maintaining consistent coolant flow and preventing premature hose failure. Gates uses a EPDM rubber construction, which is known for its resistance to heat and coolant chemicals, helping this hose stand up to the demanding environment under your hood.

Replacing a heater hose is a common maintenance task, especially if you notice coolant leaks or a lack of heat in the cabin. This hose is designed to fit right into place, making the replacement process straightforward. Having the correct molded shape means you won't have to fight with a hose that wants to bend in the wrong direction, simplifying the job for you.
