Gates 24073 Molded Coolant Hose Overview
The Gates 24073 molded coolant hose is a radiator coolant hose built for specific BMW applications with OE-style routing and integrated quick-connect features. It is made from EPDM, plastic, and steel for use in the cooling system on select 2008-2010 BMW 528i, 2009-2010 BMW 528i xDrive, and 2008 BMW 528xi lower hose positions.
Gates Molded Coolant Hose products are application-specific and follow the layout of the original hose assembly, including integrated components used in modern cooling systems. This Gates 24073 hose is a direct-fit style replacement for the lower coolant hose on the listed BMW models.

Detailed Application Information
This molded coolant hose is engineered for BMW cooling system service where the original hose uses integrated connector points rather than a simple straight hose. The Gates 24073 matches the OE-style modular layout with molded shaping and female quick-connect ends, helping maintain the factory hose path and connection style on the 528i, 528i xDrive, and 528xi lower radiator hose location. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 72790) for the same application.
Common Cooling System Issues Addressed
- Cracked or split lower radiator hose
- Coolant seepage at quick-connect hose ends
- Heat-related hose hardening or deterioration
- Loss of proper hose routing after replacement
- Cooling system leaks at molded hose junctions
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle year, model, and lower hose routing before installation. Inspect the mating quick-connect fittings, seals, and adjacent cooling system components for wear or contamination before connecting the new hose. Confirm that the hose follows the original routing without twist or tension, and refill and bleed the cooling system according to BMW service procedures after installation.
Quality Assurance
Gates is a recognized aftermarket supplier of modular coolant hose assemblies, and this hose is manufactured to application-specific dimensions and OE-style configuration for the listed BMW fitments.
