Detailed Description

Gates 24104 is a molded radiator coolant hose engineered for the lower cooling circuit on select BMW 525i and BMW 530i models from 2004-2005. The hose uses a modular OE-style layout with molded shaping, two female quick connectors, and a sensor port to match the original routing and connection points used in the vehicle’s cooling system. The Gates Molded Coolant Hose line focuses on application-specific assemblies that reflect original equipment specifications rather than universal hose stock.

This part cross-references BBB Industries 16744 for the same application. If you are replacing a lower BMW coolant hose on a 2004-2005 525i or 530i, Gates 24104 provides the correct molded configuration and connection style for the listed fitments.

Common Repair Uses

• Cracked or leaking lower radiator hose
• Damaged quick-connect fitting at the hose end
• Coolant seepage at the sensor port area
• Incorrect hose routing after prior cooling system repair
• Heat-related hose deterioration in BMW cooling systems

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s lower hose routing, connector style, and sensor-port location before installation. Inspect mating plastic fittings, seals, and adjacent cooling components for wear or damage, since a new hose will not correct a compromised connection point. Confirm the hose seats fully on both female quick connectors and that the molded shape follows the original path without twist or strain.
