Product Description

The Cooltec HOSE RADIATOR UPPER is a crucial component in your BMW's cooling system, designed to carry coolant from the engine to the radiator for efficient temperature regulation. This upper radiator hose features a dual-branch moulded rubber design with integrated metal clamps and plastic quick-connect fittings, ensuring a secure and leak-resistant fit.

This part is compatible with various BMW models, including E60, E61, E63, and E64 series with 523i, 525i, 530i, and 630i engines (N52, N52N, N53). It is essential to confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to guarantee proper fitment.

Common symptoms of a failing upper radiator hose include visible cracks or swelling, coolant leaks near the hose connections, overheating engine, low coolant levels, and soft or spongy hose texture. You may also notice steam from under the bonnet or frequent need to top up coolant.

Replace your upper radiator hose if you observe any signs of wear, damage, or leaks. Timely replacement prevents sudden breakdowns, engine overheating, and costly repairs associated with cooling system failure.
