Product Description

This Cooltec HOSE RADIATOR LOWER is a crucial component in your BMW's cooling system, designed to transport coolant from the radiator to the engine. Its pre-moulded curved shape and secure end fittings ensure a precise fit and reliable connection, helping to maintain optimal engine temperatures during operation.

This part is specifically intended for BMW models, including certain E90 320i, E88 118i, and 120i variants. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure compatibility before ordering.

A failing lower radiator hose can lead to coolant leaks, overheating, or inefficient engine cooling. Common symptoms include visible coolant leaks, swelling or softening of the hose, engine temperature warning lights, and low coolant levels.

If you notice any of these signs, it is important to replace the lower radiator hose promptly to prevent further damage to your engine. Installation typically involves draining the coolant, removing the old hose, and fitting the new hose using the supplied clamps and connectors.

Order your radiator hose from MiMi Auto Parts for peace of mind and reliable nationwide delivery throughout South Africa. We recommend confirming all fitment details before purchasing to ensure the correct part for your BMW.
