Gates 24588 Radiator Coolant Hose - Lower

Gates 24588 Molded Coolant Hose Overview

The Gates 24588 molded coolant hose is a radiator coolant hose built for specific OE-style applications. It uses EPDM, plastic, and steel construction and includes a molded shape with one Henn quick connector and one male quick connector for a precise cooling-system connection.

Compatible with select Mercedes-Benz E500 and CLS500 lower coolant hose applications, this Gates molded coolant hose supports direct replacement needs where the original hose uses integrated modular components. The Gates Molded Coolant Hose line is built around application-specific fitment and OE-style hose architecture.

Detailed Description

Gates 24588 is a molded radiator coolant hose engineered for vehicles that use a modular coolant hose layout with integrated OE-style connection points. The hose is shaped for lower-position routing and is built to match specific cooling-system requirements rather than a universal cut-to-fit design. For Mercedes-Benz E500 and Mercedes-Benz CLS500 lower hose service, this part number 24588 provides the correct molded configuration and connector style for the listed applications.

This part cross-references Four Seasons (e.g., 67221, 73161) for the same application.

Vehicle Fitment

• Fits 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS500, lower.
• Fits 2003-2006 Mercedes-Benz E500, lower.

Common Problems This Hose Can Address

• Cracked or split lower radiator hose
• Coolant seepage at molded hose sections
• Damaged quick-connect interface at the hose end
• Heat-related hose hardening or deterioration
• Loss of proper coolant flow through the lower hose circuit

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose routing, connector style, and end diameters against the removed part before installation. Confirm lower-position fitment on the vehicle and inspect mating surfaces, clamps, and adjacent cooling-system components for wear or contamination. Because this hose uses modular OE-style connectors, make sure the quick-connect interface is fully seated and locked during installation.

Quality Assurance

Gates is a recognized automotive aftermarket supplier in modular coolant hose assemblies, and this hose is manufactured to application-specific specifications with OE-style integrated components for the listed Mercedes-Benz applications.
