Product Description

The Cooltec HOSE RADIATOR UPPER is an essential cooling system component designed for select BMW 1 and 3 Series models. This upper radiator hose transports coolant from the engine to the radiator, ensuring efficient temperature regulation during operation. Its robust rubber construction and integrated plastic connector with multiple hose ports are engineered for a secure and leak-resistant fit in your BMW's engine bay.

This part is specifically designed for BMW 1 Series (F20, F21) and 3 Series (F30, F31) models equipped with the 116i to 316i engines featuring the N13 engine code, from 2010 onwards. For accurate compatibility, always confirm your vehicle's 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, overheating, low coolant levels, and a sweet smell from the engine bay. You may also notice steam, engine temperature warnings, or soft spots on the hose itself.

It is advisable to replace the upper radiator hose at the first sign of wear, damage, or coolant leaks. Preventative replacement during major cooling system service can help avoid breakdowns and costly engine repairs.
