I have a '95 Honda Civic, 2 door EX, KA4AT, and need to find and identify the 4 water heater hoses for this car. The car has 135K miles on it and I already replaced the radiator hoses. I did not do the heater hoses yet, pressing my luck I guess. Well last night I blew a hose, temp shot up to way over H, white steam all over the place, luckily a gas station was there and I pulled right in. As I poured water into the radiator (Coolant was everywhere!), the water started pouring out the bottom of the car and I could see where the leak was, it was a broken water heater hose, broken right near the clamp so I could cut off an inch, re-clamp it, add water, and be on my way home. That is what I did but the hose is short now and did not clamp very well. I want to replace all of the hoses now and my mechanic is giving me prices on the hoses that add up to like $90 for four small hoses. This seems like a bit much, I think I can get them at http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/ much cheaper.

The only problem is that I am terrible with diagrams and identifying the correct parts. I took a bunch of pictures of the hoses and labeled them, one is a map showing what part of the car all the other pictures came from, and then there are close ups with details on them to assist in ID'ing the hoses. Can somebody help me please to find these four heater hoses and what the part numbers and prices are soon so that I can order them right away?

My car pictures showing the hoses are at this page:

The online Honda parts store with diagrams of everything is here:

Click "Honda Parts Online", then in the drop down boxes put this info:
MODEL- Civic
YEAR - 1995
TRIM LEVEL - 2DR EX
EMISSION AND TRANSMISSION TYPE - KA4AT
SYSTEM\COMPONENT is where I start to need help, where are the heater hoses? Some are in WATER HOSE and some are in WATER VALVE.

Please help me find the 4 hoses I need. Thank you so much.

z6hatchboy,

Thank you so much, you have helped a lot. Now because I looked up what you found, I was able to find all 4 hoses and the price is not bad at Majestic Honda Online. These are all four heater hoses needed for a '95 Civic and thee prices rock!

Column Key:

Product No Illust.No Reqd. Qty. Description Color List Price Our Price

103363 003 1 HOSE A, WATER INLET No Color 18.07 12.65
Long hose from heater valve to front engine under distributor

20072 004 1 HOSE A, WATER INLET No Color 5.38 3.77
Little "S" shaped shorty from firewall to water valve.

103365 005 1 HOSE, WATER OUTLET No Color 12.73 8.91
Mid lenght hose from firewall to rear, top engine block. This is the one I broke.

103326 003 1 HOSE, BYPASS OUTLET No Color 8.03 5.62
Mid length U shaped hose, does a U turn out and back in again right near each other. Rear engine where lower radiator hose connects to the engine.

That comes to $30.95 plus shipping, not bad at all. At least now I know what to get. Thanks z6hatchboy, you really helped me out!

 

I ordered all 4 hoses. Came to $45 with shipping and handling. Not bad, my mechanic friend was quoting me $90 from one place and $60 from another. Even HE said those were good prices and to just order them, so I did.

Thanks for your help, z6hatchboy.
