Product Details

The Gates Molded Coolant Hose 22277 is engineered for vehicles that require a formed upper radiator hose rather than a universal straight hose. Gates builds this modular coolant hose to match specific applications and to mirror OEM-style layouts, including integrated branch sections where required. This part is listed for 1993-1999 Volkswagen Golf, 1993-1999 Volkswagen Jetta, and 1995-1999 Volkswagen Cabrio, all in the upper position and without California emission system equipment.

Material selection includes EPDM and plastic for coolant-system use, and the molded construction helps maintain the original hose path in the engine bay. For buyers searching for a 1993-1999 Volkswagen Golf upper radiator coolant hose, a 1993-1999 Volkswagen Jetta molded coolant hose, or a 1995-1999 Volkswagen Cabrio upper hose, Gates 22277 matches the application-specific format used on these vehicles.

What It Helps Address

• Cracked or aged upper radiator hose material
• Coolant leaks at a molded hose section
• Incorrect hose routing after prior repairs
• Fitment issues from using a non-molded replacement hose
• Cooling-system service on select Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, and Cabrio models

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle is equipped without the California emission system before ordering. Match the hose routing, branch layout, and end diameters to the original part before installation. Inspect adjoining clamps, fittings, and coolant connections for wear, and refill and bleed the cooling system according to the vehicle service procedure after replacement.
