Product Details

Gates 21946 is part of the Molded Coolant Hose product line, a replacement hose family built around OEM-style fit and application coverage. This hose is shaped for lower radiator coolant service and is listed for 1991-1997 Saturn SL, SL1, SL2, 1991-1992 Saturn SC, 1993-1997 Saturn SC1, SC2, SW1, and SW2. If you are replacing a worn Saturn SL lower radiator hose or sourcing a Gates 21946 lower coolant hose for a Saturn SC1 or SW2, this part provides the molded routing and dimensions needed for the application.

This part cross-references Continental 61699 and Dayco 71577 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Coolant leaks from cracked or aged hose material
  • Softening, swelling, or collapse in the lower radiator hose
  • Improper hose routing caused by a damaged molded hose
  • Loss of coolant circulation from a compromised hose connection
  • Service delays when replacing a failed OE-style radiator hose

Installation Notes

Verify end diameters and centerline length before installation. Inspect hose clamps, mating necks, and nearby cooling-system components for wear or corrosion before fitting the new hose. Confirm the hose follows the original molded routing on the vehicle and check for clearance after installation.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures this molded coolant hose to OEM-quality specifications for replacement use in the cooling system. The molded hose line is built to cover a wide range of coolant applications while maintaining application-specific fitment for supported Saturn models.
