Radiator Hose for Mercedes-Benz OEM 2055014784

Product Overview

Radiator Hose for Mercedes-Benz OEM 2055014784 covers the main cooling loop on Mercedes-Benz applications. The reference set on file is OEM 2055014784, which is the figure to quote when you send an enquiry. The main cooling loop gives this part a hard life: heat soak, vibration and pressure cycling. Typical end-of-life signs are hardened ends that will not re-seal after removal and collapse of the lower leg at high rpm, which reach the workshop as overheating on long runs, pressure loss in the expansion tank and visible coolant traces. The part belongs to a cooling-system catalogue of more than 4000 types, which is the practical reason buyers consolidate a mixed pallet with us rather than splitting it across suppliers.

Key Benefits

• Ordered by reference not by photo — The listing carries OEM 2055014784. You quote the number, we confirm against the same number, and the part that ships is the one on the invoice.
• Consolidate the platform in one order — Hoses, flanges and thermostat housings for the same platform ship on one pallet, which shortens the paperwork and the freight bill.
• Sample-based production for parts not yet listed — Send the old part or a drawing and we quote from the sample, including mould development where no tool exists.
• Checked on the features that matter — Inspection concentrates on the overall developed length, the bend sequence and the branch positions — the dimensions that put a part back in the box if they are wrong.

Application Scenarios

Rebuild of an obsolete platform

The original reference is no longer produced, so the part is made from a supplied sample. Here the radiator hose is ordered against 2055014784 and travels with the rest of the Mercedes-Benz branch.

Mixed container for a distributor

A quarterly container is filled across families — intake, charge air, coolant and thermostat lines — to a single packing list. This reference, 2055014784, is bought for exactly that situation on Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

Scheduled cooling-system overhaul

The vehicle is in for a coolant leak and the workshop replaces the whole branch at once rather than chasing the next failure in a month. On this reference that means quoting 2055014784 with the quantity and letting the packing follow.

Who It Is For

• Online parts sellers — listing by OEM reference, where a mismatched number turns into a return and a negative rating. They order 2055014784 by the carton and reorder against the same number.
• Fleet and bus operators — running Mercedes-Benz vehicles past warranty and buying cooling-system parts by the box to keep downtime short. 2055014784 earns its shelf space through repeat demand on Mercedes-Benz platforms.
• Radiator and cooling specialists — rebuilding cooling systems and sourcing the hoses, flanges and housings for a platform in one go. 2055014784 earns its shelf space through repeat demand on Mercedes-Benz platforms.

Problems It Solves

Split ordering

Sourcing one hose from one supplier and the matching flange from another doubles the freight and the paperwork for the same repair. For this radiator hose the answer is the reference, 2055014784, on every document.

Parts that are no longer produced

When the original reference is dropped, the repair still exists. Sample-based production and mould development keep the line alive. For Mercedes-Benz buyers it is the difference between a stocked line and a credit note on 2055014784.

Returns from wrong fitment

Every returned part costs the freight twice. Checking the overall developed length, the bend sequence and the branch positions before despatch is cheaper than a credit note. That is why 2055014784 carries its full cross-reference set on this page.

Technical Features

The part serves the main cooling loop and carries coolant between the engine outlet and the radiator on the upper and lower legs of the loop. It is moulded in EPDM rubber, chosen because EPDM keeps its elasticity through repeated heat cycles and resists ozone, water and weathering, which makes it the workhorse wall compound for moulded engine-bay lines.

Specified where the part has to stay flexible over thousands of heat cycles rather than hold a fixed shape. EPDM hardens once it has been heat-cycled past its service window, so a replacement that has sat in a hot warehouse for years is not a bargain.

Specifications

Values marked TBC are not stated on the source catalogue. They are confirmed in writing on the quotation rather than estimated here.

Comparison With the Alternatives

Use Guide

1. Confirm the reference

   Match OEM 2055014784 against the number on the part you removed. Do not match on outline alone.

2. Check the interfaces

   Compare the overall developed length, the bend sequence and the branch positions before the vehicle is stripped further.

3. Inspect on arrival

   Look for transit damage on sealing faces and connectors. EPDM hardens once it has been heat-cycled past its service window, so a replacement that has sat in a hot warehouse for years is not a bargain.

4. Fit with the original clamp style

   Reuse the clamp type the Mercedes-Benz platform was designed around, and fit any seal or O-ring supplied with 2055014784 rather than carrying the old one over.

5. Pressure check before handover

   Refill, bleed the circuit and check for ballooning under pressure at working temperature before the vehicle leaves.
