- Upper radiator hose replacement for BMW. Bmw 328i N52 radiator hose leak fix. These hoses like to crack and break over time, not so much the rubber but the low quality plastic itself. I'd recommend everyone to replace the entire cooling system by 100k.
Such a straight to to the point video love the commentsry, about to do the job myself thank you much
Love how straight to the point and detailed this video was. Thank you
The hose IS NOT seated to the radiator. You never connect a BMW hose with the clamp up. They are snap lock hoses. You push them on with the metal clamp closed then when you hear two snaps you know they are seated correctly and won't blow off.
Just completed this same kind of work on my 328i... thank to your video
Welcome, glad it helped out👍
Part number?
Great video. Just had my line fail on me the other day. Pain in the ass to deal with. I went to install the line and noticed my coolant hose was done for. Lol You’re right, it’s smart to replace all parts at once: lines, hoses, and radiator. Saves the headache of shipping separately. As I’m waiting for my parts to come in 😣
Yep all this stuff pretty much fails at once and it’s not just bmws but aging car stuff.
What hose is that, that’s connected to the bottom of the hose you changed is it connected all the way to the back?
This video was hilarious love the commentary! Also was very helpful thanks!
i wish you showed the removal of the clip clamp with the screwdriver and flathead. im having so much trouble removing that portion of the upper hose!
damn thanks for the video. mine blew on the hiway today what a mess. managed to get off the hiway onto a side road car smoked like crazy. towed it to a friends i will try and install a new hose tomorrow
That sucks I’ve never seen one blow, they usually leak before they fail. Hopefully the engine is good after that and didn’t get too hot. Upper hoses seem to fail a lot more often than lower ones
Mine did the same thing today. Never showed any signs of leaking at all. It literally just blew off right before the connector part. Completely torn almost like someone cut it. It’s crazy.
@@autohut3720it will smoke if the engine is hot? Its steam lol
@@mikebouchardjr8452 yeah its steam actually @xvs4162 don't worry about no smoke, that's steam because water and all sorts are leaking now into the engine bay and since the motor is super hot the water just boils there, evaporates and there you have the steam. Just happened to my e90
It felt like my friend was explaining it to me, well done.
You missed showing the struggle of removing the connector on the radiator side.. hehe that part took me the longest on this whole fix. It's best to spray some PB blaster and let it soak on each wiggle. A lot of people damage this part and turn from $30 job into $300+ job for replacing the whole radiator.
I removed the radiator hose easily with a heat gun, heat the plastic part of the hose for 2 minutes and wiggle to easy no struggle
Lmao I literally just broke my radiator doing this 💔💔💔💔
Thats where I am at...stuck upper hose
Took me half an hour..
Nice video. I'm just about to replace mine. Two things, do you need a new hose O ring for the hose, or do they come with them? Also, how comes you don't use the bleed screw next cap when bleeding?
Thanks
The hose will come with the o rings unless you’re very unlucky but always good to have a check. Regarding the bleed screw the reason I don’t use it is because it tends to spill coolant down the side of the reservoir
I did steps and my own not come on, what u think could be the problem????
That top nipple of the hose breaks so easy. It's impossible to pull it off without breaking it since hot fluid has caused the plastic to bond with the hose. It's best to get a brand new hose.
It is indeed. I would recommend doing both hoses at once for most people. I did them as they began to fail which isn’t the best way to go about it
@@autohut3720 I was lucky my car started overheating and spraying fluid while I was entering my garage. I found the source and your video helped out.
is there a reason my hose dont fit😭 i went to 3 different stores to get the upper radiator hose and is not connecting
What’s that bottom hose called ? Mines came off and coolant went everywhere
I believe it goes all the way back to the heater core
So they come with the o rings
has anyone had the connector to the radiator part being a struggle to have it go all the way in? mine isnt going all the way in so i cant lock the pin to the radiator side.
I’m having this exact same problem and I can’t find anyone talking about it or a way to get it all the way in? Did you manage to do it? And how
@@swimful I had a small little peice stuck inside. It was hard to see but in depth it was a little plastic peice
@daniilvoshev8074
I am having the same problem getting the new upper radiator hose to connect to the radiator. Did you ever figure out how to get the hose on all the way?
What's that bottom hose connected to? I'm thinking of replacing that one too but I don't know what it's called
Did you ever find out what that hose was ?
How do you know when to stop does the reservoir tank stop on its own
Tkank you for this video
what is size of warm clamp that you have on that house ?
Should of showed us you prying the end off that connects to the radiator. Thats the hardest shit im struggling with.
Would this work for my 328i x drive?
Thank you for this!
Do you need to have a battery connected to your car
I would either disconnect, or disconnect the electric power to the fan (unplug it, easier). You work close to the fan, you dont want it to turn on.
What hose is connected to the upper radiator hose at the bottom mine busted and I need to replace it ASAP .
That is a hose that from what I saw goes into the heater core so I’d look for that when searching a replacement. It will likely differ from car to car so you want to check on realoem.com for which one is for your car
Thanks for the video. Do you know the name or part number of the hose you're holding at 3:42?
I believe it is 64219178427 that goes back to the heater core but you should double check.
@@autohut3720 thank you. Will double check.
@@j8nkies20 did you ever find the correct name or part number for this ? Thanks
@@saulaguilar282 hey bro, Lower - Radiator To Heat Exchanger Radiator Hose. PN: 17127540020. Google that part number. Should be it.
@J8nkies I’m on Fcp euro i looking at one that look the same they are calling it cylinder head to thermostat housing
What year is this I have a 2006 do I need a battery connected to my car to bleed it please let me know I will be trying this
I don’t know how else you would power the electric water pump to be able to bleed the system other than having a battery in the car. If you mean regarding needing a trickle charger, no you don’t as long as your battery is in good health
Can I use jumper cables
@@kevingonzalez3519 I don't know about that. Should theoretically work but these cars are very finicky when it comes to voltage changes so I would try to use a battery
What’s the hose that u said made a huge mess in your car called ?? Need to replace mine. 3:50
That one goes all the way back to the heater core at the firewall. Part number is different on different cars. Go on realoem.com and input the last 7 of your vin and it should show the part number for yours
what is that small hose for shown at 0:24 ?
How did you put it in the radiator?? It is costing me a lot to put them together, one side fits well but the other end is causing me a lot of trouble, did you use something to put it in?
What do you mean? It wasn’t possible for me to record putting the radiator in but it was really straight forward. What brand is yours?
@@autohut3720 I got the Gates 23419 Premium Modular Coolant Hose, the first one I bought was going all in the radiator side
so the hose u said not to break well i broke it what now
How do you feel about replacing coolant system hoses with Rein brand instead of OEM?
I’ve used rein in the e92 and e46 many times before and haven’t had any issues yet. They’ve seemed to fit very well and felt nice. Only time will tell
Just do what i accidently did and just buy 2 rein ones for the price of 1 OEM one
Just had this problem come up. What tools did you need to do this?
Nothing other than a couple flathead screwdrivers as prybars and a couple water bottles you can cut up to let the coolant slowly drain into. You’ll need a worm clamp for the coolant overflow hose if yours is weeping a bit. Make sure to lube up the o rings on the new hose with new coolant before installing
Mine popped off what to do?
how did you pull the hose off the radiator?
Prodigy Ponies I used a flathead to pry against the radiator. There are some square holes you can pry against. Help yourself with some silicone spray
Would WD-40 work as well?
What about pb blaster?
What hose is that? Thats connected to the coolant hose
On top
The one on top is the spaghetti hose or coolant reservoir overflow hose. Common failure item too
Thanks for the video, I don't want to make a fukin mess. LoL
Always good to at least try to stay clean👍
whats the exact name of the hose?
Upper radiator hose
You have a 335 dash on 328?
I have a 328 dash. The e92 gets the oil temperature gauge just like the 335i
@@autohut3720 can i do tht to the sedan or no 328
@@javandelcid4406 many people have done it before, would have to read up a few threads on the forums. Also others convert the mpg gauge to oil temperature gauge through coding. I don’t know step by step because my car has it already but I’m sure it’s out there
Great vid. thanks for sharing.
Glad it helped👍
I was so confused until you said electric water pump
Really hard to understand what youre saying. We hear "blablablabla ruin your system "
did you buy the hose
Yes of course
@@autohut3720 I meant where did you buy the hose lol my bad
@@THEVOLCOMLIFE this hose was from fcp euro I’m pretty sure. But it can be had local from a parts store for similar prices. I believe it could be branded rein or gates. O Reilly has gates
Bruh I just wanted to see how you removed the hose . And that’s the only thing you didn’t show -.- .
Sorry, it’s a pain to do while recording it
Skipped explaining the hardest parts (radiator hose).
BMW’s are such nice cars but shame on them for using the cheapest plastic in the business, hoses break soooo easy every weather stripping peace under the hood cracks at like 70k miles!
Sorry to say, it was already difficult to understand you but when the engine went on, it was impossible.
J Y yep I realized that a bit too late I personally couldn’t hear much even fixing it with editing stuff. I guess it still shows the process visually lol. Sorry.
