Product Description

The Cooltec HOSE RADIATOR LOWER is a key component in your BMW's cooling system, directing coolant from the radiator to the engine to maintain optimal operating temperatures. Designed with robust moulded rubber and equipped with secure plastic quick-connect fittings, this hose ensures efficient coolant flow and reliable connections.

This lower radiator hose is suitable for select BMW models, including E81, E87, E82, and E90 variants with engines such as the 130, 323, 325, 328, and 330 N52 series from 2004 to 2013. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure correct fitment before ordering.

Common symptoms of a failing lower radiator hose include visible coolant leaks, soft or swollen hose sections, overheating, low coolant levels, or a check engine light related to coolant temperature. You might also notice steam from the engine bay or a sweet smell from leaking coolant.

Replace your lower radiator hose at the first sign of wear, leakage, or swelling to prevent engine overheating and potential damage. During routine cooling system maintenance or after a coolant flush, inspect the hose for any signs of deterioration.
