Product Information

An engine coolant hose flange is a fitting or connection point where the coolant hoses attach to the engine or other components in the cooling system. This flange is typically made of metal or plastic and is designed to create a secure seal to prevent coolant leaks. It plays a critical role in maintaining the proper flow of coolant throughout the engine, radiator, and heater core, helping to regulate the engine's temperature.

• Coolant Leaks: One of the most noticeable symptoms of a failing coolant hose flange is visible coolant leaks. If the flange or the connection point becomes damaged, coolant may leak onto the ground or other engine components
• Overheating Engine: A compromised flange can disrupt the flow of coolant, leading to insufficient cooling. This can cause the engine to overheat, triggering the temperature warning light on the dashboard

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.
