Product Description

The Cooltec HOSE RADIATOR UPPER is a critical component in your BMW’s cooling system, responsible for directing coolant from the engine to the radiator. This hose features multiple branches and quick-connect ends, designed to fit specific BMW models and engine codes. Its robust rubber construction and precise moulded connectors ensure a secure fit and efficient coolant flow.

This upper radiator hose is compatible with select BMW models, including those with N45, N46, N45N, and N46N engines. It is essential to check your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure proper fitment.

Common symptoms of a failing upper radiator hose include visible cracks or bulges, coolant leaks, overheating, low coolant levels, engine temperature fluctuations, steam from under the bonnet, and hose detachment or softness. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent more serious engine damage.

When replacing this hose, ensure the engine is cool and depressurised. It is recommended to inspect all related cooling system components during replacement to avoid future leaks or failures. If you are unsure, consult a qualified mechanic or contact MiMi Auto Parts for guidance.
