Howdy from San Antonio all.

I have a 2008 H3 Alpha with 134900 miles. The hose that connects to the heater core needs to be replaced, however everywhere I have called or ordered from usually responds with a discontinued part.

The part number is 25844416.

Any help you folks can provide locating one would be much appreciated.

I have tried Ebay and various google searches to no avail. I have also called local dealerships as well.

 

there is a gates brand replacement https://www.gates.com/us/en/fluid-po...0/v/4261-01690

 

oh that's not it at all. I'll try to snap a pic of it tomorrow. But this is two inlet hoses from the heater core to the block.

Calling a dealership is one of the best known complete waste of time activities possible.

 

i guess with the gates solution you reuse the metal pipes

 

I see now, The gates solution is for the hoses from the engine block to the metal pipes. I need from the Metal pipes to the heater core.

 

you might have to use standard heater hose. they sell it by the foot in different diameters.

 

Yes, you can cut the band clamps and replace the hose, however make sure to properly secure the hose at both ends with gear clamps and pressure check.

 

Thanks Hummerz,

What are gear clamps? Never heard of them before!!!
