Product Description

Ensure your BMW's cooling system runs efficiently with the Cooltec HOSE RADIATOR UPPER, a crucial component in maintaining proper engine temperature. This upper radiator hose is designed for direct fitment to specific BMW models, featuring a moulded dual-hose assembly with quick-connect plastic ends and metal clamps for secure attachment. It handles the critical task of transporting coolant from the engine to the radiator, helping to prevent overheating and engine damage.

This radiator hose is compatible with select BMW models, including the E90 320i, E88 118i, and 120i. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure correct fitment before ordering.

Common signs that your radiator hose may need replacement include visible cracks, bulges, leaks, or soft spots, as well as engine overheating or low coolant levels. If you notice coolant puddles under your vehicle or a warning light on your dashboard, the hose may be failing.

Replacing a worn or damaged radiator hose is vital to avoid sudden coolant loss and potential engine damage. It is recommended to inspect hoses during regular servicing and replace them at the first sign of wear or if your vehicle is experiencing cooling issues.
