Gates 22522 upper radiator coolant hose for the 2004 Saturn L300 4-cylinder 2.2L and other vehicles carries coolant between the engine and the radiator. This Gates radiator coolant hose is a molded EPDM hose, pre-shaped to fit and seal.
- Specifically-engineered materials resist collapse under vacuum
- Engineered to resist electrochemical degradation, the leading cause of hose failure
- EPDM tube, synthetic fiber knit reinforcement and a heat-, ozone- and chemical coolant-resistant EPDM cover
- Meets requirements of SAE 20R4, class D2 and DIN 73411, class A (except for tolerances)
- Temperature range of -40 °F to +257 °F (-40 °C to +125 °C)
Quick facts
- Part: Gates 22522 radiator coolant hose
- Fits: the 2004 Saturn L300 4-cylinder 2.2L and other vehicles
- Position: Upper
- Material: EPDM
- Condition: New
A worn hose can show up as coolant seepage at the ends, a soft or swollen hose, or an engine that runs hot. A leaking radiator, a weak radiator cap, a thermostat housing or a loose clamp can be behind those signs too, so find the cause before buying a hose. Inspect it only with the engine cool.
Fits
This hose is listed for a wide range of Saturn models, led by the 2004 Saturn L300 4-cylinder 2.2L, the 2001-2003 Saturn L200 4-cylinder 2.2L and the 2001-2003 Saturn LW200 4-cylinder 2.2L. Those three take one hose each. Open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Gates coolant hose right for the 2004 Saturn L300 4-cylinder 2.2L?
Yes. Gates 22522 is listed for the 2004 Saturn L300 4-cylinder 2.2L and the 2001-2003 Saturn L200 4-cylinder 2.2L, one hose per car. Open the "Vehicles it fits" section for other models.
What are the end sizes on the Gates molded coolant hose?
Both ends of this upper hose measure 33 mm (1.31 in) inside diameter, and the centerline length is 335 mm (13.2 in).
What is this radiator hose made of, and what temperatures can it handle?
Gates 22522 has an EPDM tube and cover with a synthetic fiber knit reinforcement. Its temperature range is -40 °F to +257 °F (-40 °C to +125 °C).
Do I need new clamps when I install a new coolant hose?
Yes. New hose clamps should go on each time a new coolant hose is installed. This hose is not for fuel or oil transfer.
How can I tell if an upper radiator hose is failing?
With the engine cool, look for cracks, bulges or coolant wetness at the ends of the hose. A shop can pressure-test the cooling system if you are unsure.
