Gates 24120 Radiator Coolant Hose - Throttle Body To Engine

Gates Molded Coolant Hose 24120

Gates 24120 is a molded radiator coolant hose built for specific OE-style applications in the cooling system. It uses EPDM and plastic construction and follows the molded routing needed for the throttle body to engine connection on select Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Jetta models.

Key Features

• Molded coolant hose for precise routing in the engine cooling circuit
• EPDM and plastic construction for coolant system service
• Centerline length: 11.25 in. (286 mm / 5 in.)
• End sizes: 19 mm (0.76 in.), 14 mm (0.54 in.), and 8 mm (0.31 in.) ports
• Branch design with 4 branches and modular components including a branch, 2 outlets, and 3 flow restrictors
• OE-style modular hose layout for application-specific fitment

Product Details

Gates Molded Coolant Hose 24120 is part of the Gates Molded Coolant Hose line, which focuses on application-specific modular coolant assemblies. This hose is built to match the routing and integrated component layout used on the original system, including molded branches and flow restrictors where required. It is listed for 2000-2002 Volkswagen Golf, throttle body to engine, with vacuum brakes, and 1999-2002 Volkswagen Jetta, throttle body to engine, with vacuum brakes. If you are replacing a worn Volkswagen Golf coolant hose or a Volkswagen Jetta radiator hose in this configuration, part number 24120 provides the correct molded shape for the cooling circuit.

This part cross-references ACI 86837 for the same application.

Common Problems This Hose Can Address

• Coolant leaks from cracked or aged molded hose sections
• Improper hose routing after a failed OE-style hose assembly
• Softening, swelling, or deterioration from heat and coolant exposure
• Loss of cooling-system integrity at molded branch or outlet points
• Fitment issues when a straight universal hose does not match the factory path

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s throttle body to engine hose routing before installation and compare the end diameters, branch layout, and molded shape to the original part. Confirm fitment for 2000-2002 Volkswagen Golf and 1999-2002 Volkswagen Jetta with vacuum brakes. Inspect adjoining clamps, connectors, and nearby cooling-system components for wear before reassembly.

Quality Assurance

Gates is a recognized aftermarket supplier of modular coolant hose assemblies, and this hose is manufactured to follow OE-style application requirements for the listed Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Jetta fitments.
