Detailed Description

Gates 26553 is a molded turbocharger hose engineered for select Volvo turbo systems where a precise shape and secure connection matter. The OE-exact form helps maintain the original hose path between the turbocharger, pipe, engine, or intercooler-related connection points, depending on the vehicle. This makes it a direct-fit choice for Volvo XC90, Volvo XC60, Volvo S90, Volvo V90, and related models listed in the fitment data.

This part cross-references Volvo OE numbers 31439498 and R31268 for the same application. If you are searching for a Volvo XC90 turbocharger hose, Volvo XC60 intercooler hose, or a molded turbocharger to pipe hose for a Volvo V90, Gates 26553 is built to match the required OE-style dimensions and routing.

What It Helps Address

• Boost leaks caused by a cracked or split turbo hose
• Loss of charge-air pressure from worn hose connections
• Oil-soaked hose deterioration in turbocharged engine bays
• Heat-related softening or swelling of the original hose
• Fitment issues from a distorted or collapsed molded hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose position before ordering, since fitment includes both pipe-to-engine cold side and turbocharger-to-pipe hot side applications. Confirm the inside diameter and centerline length against the original hose, and inspect adjoining clamps, pipes, and sealing surfaces for wear before installation. For best results, match the vehicle year, model, and hose position exactly to the fitment list.
