Product Description

The Cooltec HOSE RADIATOR UPPER is a crucial component in your vehicle's cooling system, responsible for carrying coolant from the engine to the radiator. Designed for precise fitment, this molded rubber hose features multiple bends and an integrated plastic connector with a branch port, ensuring secure and efficient coolant flow.

This upper radiator hose is compatible with selected Audi and Volkswagen models. It is important to check your specific model, year, engine size, and engine code to confirm compatibility before purchase.
