Hoses

Radiator hoses

Moulded radiator hoses that carry coolant between the engine, the radiator and the heater circuit, for European and Japanese passenger cars, identified by OE reference.

DYNTEK radiator hose with a moulded bend, a branch connection and a quick-fit coupling

A radiator hose carries coolant between the engine and the radiator. The upper hose takes hot coolant from the engine to the radiator; the lower hose returns cooled coolant to the water pump. Further hoses feed the heater and, on many engines, an expansion tank.

Each hose is moulded to the route it has to follow through the engine bay. A hose of the wrong shape kinks, rubs on neighbouring parts or strains its connections, which is why a radiator hose is always identified by the OE reference of the original part and not by diameter and length alone.

DYNTEK radiator hoses follow the routing of the original, including branch connections and quick-fit couplings where the original has them.

The range covers European and Japanese passenger cars. Each reference is identified by the OE number of the original part; send that number and the vehicle identification number (VIN) and we confirm the matching DYNTEK reference.

Frequently asked questions

How is a radiator hose checked?
With the engine cool, squeeze the hose between thumb and forefinger near the clamps and compare it with the middle. A good hose feels firm but pliant; soft or mushy spots, cracks, bulges, a hardened glassy surface or coolant tracks near the connections mean it should be replaced.
