Overview
The ZF 0501.328.113 RADIATOR HOSE is a critical fluid transfer component within the transmission cooling circuit of heavy-duty construction machinery. This OEM genuine part channels hot transmission oil from the torque converter or valve body to the external radiator, where it is cooled before returning to the lubrication system. The hose is engineered to withstand high thermal loads and constant hydraulic pressure, ensuring consistent operating temperatures for the transmission assembly. The SKU 0501.328.113 is a direct replacement for factory-installed hoses, guaranteeing a precise fit and original material specifications.
Symptoms of Failure
When the ZF 0501.328.113 RADIATOR HOSE degrades, operators may notice several distinct failure indicators. Visible oil puddles under the machine near the radiator area often signal a cracked or swollen hose. Transmission overheating during extended operation occurs when the hose collapses internally, restricting fluid flow. Erratic gear engagement or delayed shifting can result from air ingress through a compromised hose, causing hydraulic pressure loss. Spongy or unresponsive clutch feel in the transmission controls is another common symptom of a leaking radiator hose.

Compatibility
This radiator hose is designed for use in ZF heavy-duty transmission models commonly found in construction machinery, including the WG180, WG200, and WG210 series. It also fits select Ecomat 4HP and 6HP off-highway transmissions. The hose connects directly to the 4108101140 HOUSING on the transmission side and interfaces with the cooling system near the 0501314793 COVER. During installation, technicians often replace the 0501211694 MOTOR assembly and inspect the 0501314799 BUSH for wear to ensure complete system integrity.
