Product Description

The HOSE RADIATOR UPPER is a crucial component in your vehicle's cooling system, responsible for directing coolant from the engine to the radiator for temperature regulation. This part features a contoured design with integrated plastic connectors and an auxiliary branch, ensuring a secure fit and reliable coolant flow. Designed for vehicles that require precise coolant routing, it helps maintain optimal engine performance and prevents overheating.

This upper radiator hose is suitable for select Seat and Volkswagen models. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering, as compatibility can vary between variants. If you are unsure, the MiMi Auto Parts team is available to assist with fitment queries.

Common signs of a failing upper radiator hose include visible cracks, swelling, coolant leaks, or a noticeable drop in coolant levels. You may also notice your engine running hotter than usual or experience overheating, especially in traffic or on long drives. If the hose feels soft or mushy to the touch, it may be deteriorating internally.

Replacing a worn or damaged upper radiator hose is important to prevent coolant loss and potential engine damage. Ensure the system is fully depressurised and the engine is cool before removal. Inspect the hose for signs of wear, and replace if any issues are present to maintain the integrity of your cooling system.
