Bapmic Radiator Hose - BF0426660934 (Replaces 4G0122101)

Coolant drips or dried coolant residue, a sweet smell, a hose that feels soft, swollen or cracked, a low-coolant warning, or rising engine temperature. Squeeze hoses when the engine is cold: a healthy hose feels firm but flexible.

Replace any clamps, O-rings or seals at the connections. Many European cars use plastic quick-connect fittings that become brittle with age, so inspect neighbouring hoses and fittings while the system is drained.

Use the coolant type your car's manufacturer specifies, mixed to the correct ratio. Mixing incompatible coolants can cause deposits and reduce protection.

Usually, yes. Let the engine cool completely before opening the system, catch and dispose of old coolant properly, and bleed the air out of the system afterwards following your car's procedure; trapped air can cause overheating.

Compare the part numbers listed on this page with the number on your old part or in your vehicle's parts catalog, and check the fitment information. If you are unsure, contact us with your VIN before ordering.
