Silicone Radiator Hose Kit for Dodge Neon SRT-4 (2001-2005) 2.4L

High-Temp Silicone Radiator Hose Kit for 2001-2005 Dodge Neon (PL)

What it Does: The Silicone Radiator Hose Kit replaces the factory rubber coolant lines on the 2001-2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4 to eliminate heat-induced hose blowouts and maintain structural integrity under high cooling system pressures.

The Stock Dodge Neon Cooling Weakness

Factory EPDM rubber coolant hoses on the PL chassis A853 (EDV) 2.4L turbo engine degrade rapidly under excessive underhood thermal cycling and oil vapor contamination. Prolonged exposure to operating temperatures, localized heat radiation from the turbo manifold, and 16+ psi system operating pressures induce electrochemical degradation (ECD). Over time, OEM rubber loses its elasticity, softens, swells, and develops micro-fractures, frequently resulting in sudden junction splits and catastrophic coolant loss under hard boost.

The Engineering Solution

This replacement kit is constructed from multi-layer, 3-ply silicone reinforced with embedded heat-resistant polyester mesh, providing a dense 4.5 mm wall thickness. Silicone naturally resists ozone, UV radiation, electrochemical breakdown, and temperatures ranging beyond 350°F without softening or collapsing under suction. Precision-molded to match the factory A853 radiator and water neck orientation, each hose slides over the cast spigots with zero kinking, secured by the included 304 stainless steel worm-drive clamps.

What's Included

• 2x Black 3-Ply 4.5 mm Wall Silicone Radiator Hoses (Upper and Lower)

Frequently Asked Questions & Fitment Warnings

Does this fit the PL Neon?

Yes, this is a direct fit for the 2001-2005 Dodge Neon equipped with the A853 2.4L turbocharged engine; it does not fit naturally aspirated 2.0L SOHC/DOHC models due to differing radiator inlet and outlet locations.

Do I need to bleed the cooling system after installing these hoses?

Yes, you must completely drain and properly burp all entrained air pockets from the cooling circuit during refill to prevent localized cylinder head hot spots.

The Dodge Caliber

Built to handle the intense thermal loads generated by high-boost SRT performance, ensuring fail-safe coolant flow under aggressive track and street driving conditions.
