Gates 52460 Radiator Coolant Hose - Lower or Lower Right

Overview

The Gates 52460 molded coolant hose is built for specific cooling-system applications that require an OE-style molded shape and integrated connection points. It is a fitment-based replacement for select Volkswagen cooling layouts, including Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Jetta applications.

Gates Molded Coolant Hose products are engineered around application-specific routing and integrated components, helping match the original hose configuration more closely than a universal hose.
