Product Description

The Cooltec HOSE RADIATOR UPPER is designed for the cooling systems of select BMW models, ensuring efficient coolant flow from the engine to the radiator. This upper radiator hose features a robust rubber construction with a curved, S-shaped profile, metal clamps for secure attachment, and an integrated plastic connector with an auxiliary hose port. It is an essential component in maintaining optimal engine temperature and preventing overheating during everyday driving.

This part is compatible with specific BMW models, including E90 323i, 325i, 330i, and E87 130i. It is important to verify the exact fitment for your vehicle by checking your model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering.

Common symptoms of a failing upper radiator hose include visible coolant leaks, swelling or cracking of the hose, engine overheating, low coolant levels, steam from the engine bay, and loss of coolant pressure. You may also notice the hose feeling soft or spongy to the touch, or a persistent coolant smell around the engine bay.

Replace the upper radiator hose if you notice any signs of wear, leaks, or damage, or as part of routine cooling system maintenance. Early replacement helps prevent engine overheating and potential engine damage due to coolant loss.
