Gates 26451 Intercooler Hose - Pipe to Engine (Cold Side) or Turbocharger to Pipe (Hot Side)

Gates OE-Exact Turbocharger Hose for Volvo

The Gates 26451 turbocharger hose is an OE-exact molded intercooler hose built for reliable engine connections in turbocharged Volvo applications. It uses multi-layer reinforcement and a silicone outer cover to handle oil exposure, road contaminants, and high under-hood temperatures.

Designed as a Gates Turbocharger Hose (Molded - Standard), this part supports the cold-side and hot-side turbo plumbing used on select Volvo XC60, S60, S90, V60, V90, XC70, XC90, S80, and S60 Cross Country models. The 26451 part number is a direct-reference replacement for vehicles that require the original molded hose shape and OE-style fit.

Key Features

• OE Exact grade for factory-style hose routing and fit
• Multi-layer construction for added reinforcement and durability
• Silicone outer cover resists oil, contaminants, and heat
• Molded intercooler hose design for turbocharger plumbing
• Direct-reference Gates 26451 replacement for select Volvo applications

Product Details

This Gates 26451 hose is engineered for turbocharged Volvo engine connections where a molded intercooler hose is required. The 2.5 in. and 64 mm inside diameter specifications, along with the 3 in. and 76 mm listed dimensions, reflect the hose sizing used across the application data. The 9.5 in. and 241 mm centerline length help maintain the correct molded path between the pipe and engine or turbocharger-to-pipe connection. If you are sourcing a Volvo XC60 intercooler hose, Volvo S60 turbocharger hose, or a molded replacement for other listed Volvo models, this part number is built around OE-style dimensions and routing.

This part cross-references Volvo OE numbers 31338545 and 31657738 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Boost leaks caused by cracked or deteriorated charge-air hose material
• Oil-soaked hose surfaces that weaken sealing performance
• Heat-related softening or splitting in the turbocharger hose
• Incorrect hose routing from non-molded replacement parts
• Loss of turbo response from damaged intercooler hose connections

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle position before ordering, since this hose is listed for both Pipe to Engine (Cold Side) and Turbocharger to Pipe (Hot Side) applications on specific Volvo models. Confirm the molded shape, inside diameter, and centerline length against the original hose before installation. Inspect adjoining pipes, clamps, and sealing surfaces for wear or contamination so the replacement hose seats correctly.

Quality Assurance

Gates builds this hose with OE-exact dimensions and reinforced construction to match the demands of turbocharged engine plumbing. The design focuses on durability, heat resistance, and stable connection performance in the listed Volvo applications.
