Detailed Description

Gates 26384 is an OE-exact molded turbocharger hose engineered for reliable engine connections in the boost and charge-air path. Its 2.25-inch inside diameter and 7-inch centerline length support the correct routing for the hot-side turbocharger to pipe location on the Volkswagen Jetta. If you are replacing a worn or heat-aged intercooler hose on a 2005-2006 Volkswagen Jetta, this molded Gates hose provides the correct shape and connection profile for the application. The part number 26384 is also useful when cross-checking service records or ordering by reference.

This part cross-references Febi-Bilstein 26384 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Boost leaks caused by cracked or split charge-air hose material
• Oil-softened hose walls that no longer hold pressure
• Heat damage from prolonged under-hood exposure
• Fitment issues from a distorted or collapsed molded hose
• Loss of turbocharger-to-intercooler pipe sealing on Volkswagen Jetta models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hot-side turbocharger to pipe routing before installation and compare the hose shape, diameter, and centerline length to the removed part. Clean the mating surfaces and inspect adjoining pipes, clamps, and seals for wear before reassembly. Confirm fitment for 2005-2006 Volkswagen Jetta applications before ordering, and match the part number 26384 when replacing an original hose.
