Product Details

Gates 24746 is a modular coolant hose assembly made for vehicles that use integrated cooling-system components rather than a simple straight hose. Gates builds this molded hose to match specific applications and OE-style specifications, helping maintain the original hose routing and connection points in the cooling circuit. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72738 for the same application.

Compatible with 2002-2006 Audi A4, lower, and 2002-2005 Audi A4 Quattro, lower. If you are replacing a lower radiator hose on an Audi A4 or Audi A4 Quattro, the Gates 24746 provides the molded layout and connector style required for these applications.

What It Helps Address

• Coolant leaks from a cracked or aged lower hose
• Improper fit from a hose that does not match OE routing
• Connection issues at quick-connect fittings or sensor ports
• Cooling-system service needs involving the drain petcock
• Replacement of a damaged molded hose assembly on Audi A4 models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s lower hose routing, connector style, and sensor-port layout before installation. Compare the original hose to the Gates 24746 to confirm the branch location, quick-connect ends, and molded shape match the factory configuration. Inspect adjoining clamps, seals, and mating surfaces for wear or contamination before reassembly.

Quality Assurance

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