Product Description

This Cooltec hose connects the expansion tank to the engine, playing a vital role in your Mercedes-Benz's cooling system. It ensures efficient transfer of coolant between the expansion tank and the engine, helping to regulate engine temperature and prevent overheating. Designed specifically for select Mercedes-Benz models, this hose features molded bends and robust quick-connect fittings for a secure, leak-resistant installation.

Compatible with Mercedes-Benz W204 and W212 models, including C280, C300, C350, E300, and E350 with the M272 engine. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before purchase to ensure correct fitment.

Typical symptoms of a failing expansion tank to engine hose include visible coolant leaks, low coolant levels, overheating, soft or swollen hose sections, poor coolant circulation, and warning lights on the dashboard. You might also notice coolant odours or visible cracks and splits on the hose surface.

It is recommended to replace this hose if you notice any signs of wear, leaks, or if your cooling system is being serviced. Regular inspection and timely replacement help avoid engine overheating and potential costly repairs.
