Gates 26276 Turbocharger Intercooler Hose - Pipe to Intercooler (Hot Side)

Gates OE-Exact Turbocharger Hose for Volvo XC90

The Gates 26276 turbocharger hose is an OE-exact molded intercooler hose built for the hot-side pipe-to-intercooler connection on select 2003-2005 Volvo XC90 models. It uses multi-layer reinforcement and a silicone outer cover to handle oil exposure, road contaminants, and elevated under-hood temperatures.

For Volvo XC90 turbocharger hose replacement needs, this molded Gates hose follows the original connection shape and dimensions for a direct-fit service part. The 2.25-inch inside diameter and 19.75-inch centerline length support accurate routing in the turbo/intercooler system.

Product Details

Gates Turbocharger Hose 26276 is part of the Gates Turbocharger Hose (Molded - Standard) line, which focuses on OE-style molded hose geometry for engine connection points that require accurate fit and stable sealing. This hose is built for 2003-2005 Volvo XC90 applications at the pipe to intercooler hot-side position, where heat and pressure demand a reinforced replacement hose. The part number 26276 is also useful when cross-checking service records or matching an existing hose during turbo system repair.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Hose Can Address

• Boost leaks caused by cracked or softened intercooler hose material
• Oil contamination damage on the turbocharger hose exterior
• Heat-related hose swelling or separation at the connection point
• Loss of factory-style routing after hose deformation
• Airflow disruption in the turbo-to-intercooler path on Volvo XC90 models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the inside diameter, centerline length, and molded shape against the original hose before installation. Confirm the vehicle is a 2003-2005 Volvo XC90 and that the service location is the pipe to intercooler hot-side connection. Inspect adjoining clamps, pipes, and sealing surfaces for wear or damage before installing Gates 26276.
