Product Description

This lower radiator hose is an essential component in your vehicle's cooling system, responsible for directing coolant from the radiator to the engine. Designed with multiple bends and a T-junction, it ensures proper coolant flow and fitment within the engine bay. The rubber construction helps withstand heat and pressure during normal engine operation.

This hose is suitable for selected Audi and Volkswagen models, including certain Audi A4 and Volkswagen Passat variants from the mid-1990s to early 2000s. Please confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure compatibility before ordering.

Common symptoms of a failing lower radiator hose include visible leaks, swelling or soft spots, overheating, and low coolant levels. You may also notice steam from the engine bay or a persistent coolant smell under the bonnet.

It is important to replace the lower radiator hose at the first sign of wear, damage, or leaks. Regular inspection during service intervals helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and engine overheating.
