Product Description

This Cooltec hose connects the cylinder head to the heater radiator, playing a crucial role in the cooling system of select Volkswagen models. It ensures coolant flows efficiently from the cylinder head to the heater core, helping maintain optimal engine temperature and reliable cabin heating. The hose features a moulded rubber construction, a plastic quick-connect fitting with a locking tab, a secondary branch for additional coolant routing, and an integrated mounting clip for secure installation.

Designed specifically for Volkswagen vehicles, this cooling radiator hose is suitable for certain Golf and Jetta IV models with 1.6 and 2.0 engines. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure compatibility before ordering, as cooling system components can vary between variants.

Common symptoms of a failing or leaking cylinder head to heater radiator hose include visible coolant leaks, low coolant levels, engine overheating, poor cabin heater performance, soft or swollen hose sections, and a strong coolant smell inside or outside the vehicle. You may also notice steam from the engine bay or warning lights on the dashboard.

Replace this hose at the first sign of leaks, cracks, or deterioration to prevent loss of coolant and potential engine damage. It is also advisable to inspect and replace hoses during major cooling system maintenance or if your vehicle is experiencing overheating issues.
