Detailed Description

Gates 26484 is engineered as a molded intercooler hose for turbocharged BMW engines where the cold-side charge-air path must stay sealed and properly aligned. The OE Exact shape helps maintain the original hose routing, while the reinforced multi-layer design supports long-term service in high-heat engine bays. This part number 26484 is a direct replacement choice for BMW 535i, BMW 535i xDrive, BMW 535i GT, BMW X5, and BMW X6 fitments listed below.

This part cross-references BMW OE numbers 13717588268 and R19720 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Boost leaks at the cold-side turbocharger hose connection
• Cracked, softened, or oil-damaged charge-air hose material
• Collapsed or distorted hose sections from heat and age
• Airflow loss caused by poor sealing at the pipe-to-engine joint
• Fitment issues from using a hose with the wrong molded shape

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle build date before ordering, especially for 2011 BMW 535i, 535i GT, 535i GT xDrive, 535i xDrive, X5, and X6 applications noted as May 31, 2011 and older. Confirm the hose location as pipe to engine, cold side, and match the inside diameter and centerline length to the original part before installation. Inspect adjoining pipes, clamps, and sealing surfaces for wear or contamination so the new hose seats correctly.
