OEM Heater Outlet Hose for 1996-2004 Nissan Pathfinder models.
The Heater Outlet Hose is a component of the vehicle's cooling system that carries hot coolant from the engine to the heater core, allowing the cabin heater to function properly. Over time, the heater outlet hose can become worn, damaged, or develop leaks, which can lead to coolant loss and heating system issues.
Here are some signs that the heater outlet hose may need to be replaced:
- Coolant leaks: If you notice coolant puddles or drips underneath the vehicle, it may indicate a leak in the heater outlet hose. Coolant leaks can lead to engine overheating and a loss of heating in the cabin.
- Visible damage: Inspect the heater outlet hose for any visible signs of wear, cracks, or bulges. If the hose appears damaged or deformed, it may need to be replaced.
- Soft or spongy hose: Over time, the heater outlet hose can become soft or spongy due to aging or exposure to heat. If you can easily squeeze or deform the hose, it may be a sign of deterioration and should be replaced.
- Heating system issues: A failing heater outlet hose can result in reduced or inconsistent heating performance in the cabin. If you notice a decrease in heat output or the heater doesn't produce warm air at all, it may be due to a faulty hose.
Additionally, if the hose is several years old or has reached the recommended service interval specified by the vehicle manufacturer, it may be prudent to replace it proactively.
Please select the appropriate year range from the options drop-down.
