ZF 0501.224.459 HOSE PIPE for WG260 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 0501.224.459 HOSE PIPE is a critical fluid conduit engineered specifically for the WG 260 and WG 310 transmission series. This OEM genuine part directs pressurized hydraulic oil between the valve body and the clutch drum assembly, ensuring precise shift timing and lubrication flow. As an original equipment component, the SKU 0501.224.459 guarantees exact dimensional tolerances to prevent pressure loss within the transmission circuit. This hose pipe works in conjunction with the TRANSMISSION HOUSING to maintain system integrity under high thermal loads.

Symptoms of Failure

• External hydraulic fluid seepage – Visible oil drips near the bell housing or transmission pan, often mistaken for a pan gasket leak.
• Erratic gear engagement – Delayed or harsh shifting between forward and reverse gears due to insufficient line pressure.
• Transmission overheating – Restricted oil flow through a collapsed or kinked hose pipe causes elevated operating temperatures.
• Low fluid level warnings – Gradual oil loss from micro-cracks in the hose pipe triggers intermittent low-pressure alarms.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This hose pipe is validated for the ZF WG 260 and WG 310 series transmissions, commonly found in mid-range buses, fire trucks, and construction loaders. It also retrofits into WG 180 and WG 200 models when replacing the original HOUSING assembly. For proper sealing, always pair this part with a new O-RING at the connection port. The COVER plate must be torqued to factory specifications after installation to avoid stress on the hose pipe.
