Product Description

This Cooltec HOSE RADIATOR LOWER is a brand new cooling system component designed for select BMW diesel models. As a lower radiator hose, it plays a key role in directing coolant from the radiator back to the engine, ensuring optimal temperature regulation during operation. The hose features pre-formed bends and integrated quick-connect fittings with metal retaining clips for a secure and leak-resistant installation.

Compatibility is specific to BMW E87, E90, and E91 models equipped with 118d, 120d, 318d, or 320d engines from 2003 to 2007. Always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before placing an order to ensure the correct fitment.

Symptoms of a failing lower radiator hose include visible cracks or swelling, coolant leaks under the vehicle, engine overheating, low coolant levels, soft or spongy hose texture, and frequent need to top up coolant. You may also notice poor heater performance or a sweet smell from leaking coolant.

Replace the lower radiator hose at the first sign of wear, leaks, or damage to prevent engine overheating and potential engine damage. Regular inspection during routine maintenance is recommended, especially for vehicles in the specified age range.

Order your replacement from MiMi Auto Parts with confidence. We offer nationwide delivery throughout South Africa, making it easy to keep your BMW’s cooling system running efficiently. Our team is ready to assist you with any compatibility queries.
