Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This hose is exclusively designed for MERCEDES C-CLASS (W204) C 180 CGI (204.049) models produced between 2007 and 2014. It is compatible with OEM part numbers MERCEDES-BENZ 2045012682 and A2045012682.

Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic. Ensure the engine is completely cool before beginning. Drain the cooling system, remove the old hose, clean the connection points, and install the new Gates hose, ensuring a secure fitment with the provided clamps. Refill the cooling system with the correct coolant mixture and bleed the system to remove air.

Care: Regularly inspect the hose for signs of wear, such as cracks, bulges, or leaks. Check that hose clamps are tight. Avoid contact with sharp objects or excessive heat sources. The EPDM rubber is resistant to standard coolant but should not be exposed to petroleum-based products or excessive abrasion.
