Product Description

The Cooltec HOSE RADIATOR UPPER is an essential component in your vehicle's cooling system, designed to transport coolant from the engine to the radiator. This upper radiator hose features a durable rubber construction with a moulded bend, integrated plastic connector, mounting tab, and a secondary small hose port, ensuring a secure and leak-free fit.

This part is compatible with selected Seat and Volkswagen models. It is important to check your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure correct fitment before ordering.

Common symptoms of a failing upper radiator hose include visible cracks, coolant leaks, swelling, engine overheating, low coolant levels, or a soft and spongy feel when squeezed. You may also notice steam from under the bonnet or a persistent coolant smell.

Replace the upper radiator hose at the first sign of damage or wear to prevent sudden coolant loss and engine overheating. Always inspect both ends for secure connections and check for signs of deterioration during routine maintenance.
