Product Description

This brand new upper radiator hose is a crucial part of your vehicle's cooling system, responsible for carrying coolant from the engine to the radiator. Designed as a direct replacement, it features a robust rubber construction with precision-moulded bends and secure plastic connectors for reliable fitment and leak prevention. The dual-branch structure accommodates both the main coolant flow and auxiliary coolant lines, ensuring efficient temperature regulation throughout your engine.

This hose is intended for select BMW X3 F25 models, including 18d and 20dX variants produced between 2010 and 2017. Compatibility can depend on engine size and specific trim, so it is vital to confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before placing your order. If you are unsure, MiMi Auto Parts can assist with fitment queries.

Common symptoms of a failing upper radiator hose include visible cracks or swelling, coolant leaks under the front of the vehicle, overheating, low coolant levels, or a soft or spongy feel to the hose. Engine temperature fluctuations and a persistent coolant smell may also indicate hose deterioration.

Replacing a worn or damaged upper radiator hose is essential to prevent coolant loss and potential engine overheating. If you notice any of the above symptoms, inspect the hose promptly and replace it if necessary to maintain safe and efficient engine operation.
