Product Description

The Cooltec Hose Radiator Upper No Thin Pipe is a crucial component in your BMW's cooling system, responsible for directing coolant from the engine to the radiator. Its robust construction and integrated quick-connect fittings ensure a secure and leak-resistant connection for optimal coolant flow. Designed specifically for BMW diesel models, this upper radiator hose assembly features multiple branches to accommodate the precise routing and connections required by these engines.

This radiator hose is compatible with select BMW models, including certain E81, E82, E88, E90, and E84 series equipped with N47 and N47S diesel engines. Before ordering, always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure correct fitment.

Common symptoms of a failing upper radiator hose include coolant leaks, visible cracks or bulges in the hose, engine overheating, low coolant levels, and soft or spongy hose texture. You may also notice steam from under the bonnet or the coolant warning light illuminating on your dashboard.

It is advisable to replace the upper radiator hose if you observe any signs of wear, leaks, or reduced coolant flow. Regular inspection and timely replacement help prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly engine damage.
