Product Details

The Gates Turbocharger Hose (Molded - Standard) line focuses on OE-style replacement parts that match factory routing and connection geometry. Part number 26293 is shaped for the turbocharger-to-intercooler hot-side path, helping maintain a secure connection where heat, pressure, and vibration are common. For Volkswagen Passat and Volkswagen CC fitments, the molded profile supports a direct replacement approach without changing the original hose path.

This part cross-references Febi-Bilstein 26293 for the same application.

Common Problems This Hose Can Address

• Cracked or split intercooler hose material
• Boost leaks at the hot-side pipe to intercooler connection
• Oil-soaked hose deterioration in the engine bay
• Heat-related softening or swelling of the original hose
• Loss of factory-style hose routing after replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose shape, inside diameter, and centerline length against the original part before installation. Confirm fitment for the exact vehicle and engine configuration on 2008-2010 Volkswagen Passat, 2009-2010 Volkswagen CC, or 2009-2010 Volkswagen Passat CC, since this hose is specific to the pipe to intercooler hot-side location. Inspect adjoining clamps, pipes, and sealing surfaces for wear before reassembly.
