Detailed Description

Built as a molded radiator coolant hose, Gates 21219 is shaped to follow the factory-style coolant path and help maintain proper hose routing in the engine bay. The EPDM material is commonly used in cooling-system service for its resistance to heat and coolant exposure, while the molded profile helps match the lower hose layout on vehicles such as the Volvo 240, Volvo GLE, Mitsubishi Cordia, Mitsubishi Tredia, Mitsubishi Galant, Nissan Maxima, Nissan 810, and Toyota Corolla.

This part number 21219 also cross-references Gates 70898 for the same application. It is a practical replacement choice when servicing a lower radiator hose on 1990-1993 Volvo 240, 1983-1988 Mitsubishi Cordia, 1983-1988 Mitsubishi Tredia, or 1985-1987 Mitsubishi Galant.

Common Problems This Hose Can Address

• Cracked or split lower radiator hose
• Coolant leaks at the hose body
• Collapsed or softened hose material
• Poor hose routing from a worn molded hose
• Cooling-system service on a vehicle with an aging factory hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify hose routing, end diameters, and centerline length against the removed part before installation. Inspect hose clamps, thermostat housing connections, radiator necks, and nearby fittings for wear or corrosion before reassembly. For fitment-specific service, confirm the vehicle listing for your exact year, make, model, and lower position before ordering Gates 21219.
