Radiator Hose: Description and Operation
Coolant Outlet Duct
A plastic coolant outlet duct connects to the outlet port of each cylinder head providing a common connection point for the radiator top hose. It also
incorporates the ECT sensor providing an input of coolant temperature at the cylinder heads and the supply to the air-conditioning heater matrix as well
as the bypass flow to the thermostat housing. An in-groove gasket seals each of the outlet-to-cylinder head joints. An aluminum gasket seals the ECT
sensor to duct joint.
