gilto Member 218 Member For: 17y 10m 22d Gender: Male Posted 15/07/08 07:05 AM Share Posted 15/07/08 07:05 AM Well I replaced my top and bottom heater hoses and when I took the factory hoses off there was a small hose connecting the top and bottom hose together....What purpose does this connection serve?If the cross peice isn't put back on what will happen?I think the connecting peice is only on T's with premium sound and Typhoons ????

These setups only flow the heated coolant in to the heat exchanger when required, where as non-climate control equipped vehicles have the coolant running through the core all the time and the air-flow is modulated instead.....if that makes any sense Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/47647-top-and-bottom-heater-hoses/#findComment-705976 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great reply, don't really understand it but still a great reply...Ok - mine does not have climate control...does that make any difference.Reason I ask is because I have installed the pole position kit and didn't put the small connecting hose back on.....

It allows coolant to bypass when the heater tap is shut when you have the temp position on cold...btw, I'm assuming their is a heater tap behind the dash. as I've seen on many heater systems..
