Gates 26272 Turbocharger Intercooler Hose - Intercooler To Engine (Cold Side - Left)

OE-Exact Turbocharger Hose for Sprinter

Gates 26272 is an OE-exact molded turbocharger hose for the cold-side connection from the intercooler to the engine. It is built for the 2003-2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500 and Sprinter 3500, as well as the 2004-2005 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, where a precise molded fit matters for boost-air routing.

The Gates Turbocharger Hose (Molded - Standard) line focuses on direct-fit replacement hoses with reinforced construction and a silicone outer cover that resists oil, road contaminants, and high under-hood temperatures. For Sprinter diesel applications, that means a hose shaped to match the original routing and built for demanding charge-air service.

What This Hose Helps Address

• Boost-air leaks at the intercooler-to-engine cold-side connection
• Cracked, softened, or oil-soaked turbocharger hose material
• Loss of charge-air pressure from a worn molded hose
• Fitment issues caused by using a generic straight hose in a molded application
• Airflow disruption in Dodge Sprinter and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter diesel turbo systems

Installation Notes

Verify the inside diameter and centerline length against the original hose before installation. This molded hose is shaped for the intercooler-to-engine cold-side left position, so routing should match the factory layout on the listed Sprinter applications. Inspect adjoining clamps, pipes, and sealing surfaces for wear before reassembly.

Quality Assurance

Gates 26272 is built as an OE-exact replacement hose for the listed Sprinter applications. Cross-reference part numbers include Dorman OE Solutions 904-097 and National 1779 for the same application.
