Modular coolant hoses are on many of today’s vehicles and are much more complex than the standard molded hoses of the past. Modular coolant hoses are hose assemblies with one or more components built into the hose. Some examples of these components include hose branches, quick connectors, valves, sensors, bleeders and flow restrictors. Manufactured identical or equivalent to the OE hose, modular coolant hoses will keep your vehicle’s cooling system running properly and efficiently for years to come.

Product Features:

• Specifically-engineered materials resist collapse under vacuum
• Engineered to resist electrochemical degradation ┐ the leading cause of hose failure
• EPDM tube: synthetic fiber knit reinforcement, heat-, ozone- and chemical coolant-resistant EPDM cover
• Manufactured with OEM-exact hose components (quick connects, branch connectors/tees, sensors, etc.)
• Meets SAE 20R3 EC Class D1 under 25mm (1 in.) ID, SAE 20R4 EC Class D1 for 25mm (1 in.) ID and over
• Temperature Range: -40 Deg. F to +257 Deg. F (-40 Deg. C to +125 Deg. C)
• Note: Gates recommends replacing clamps each time a new coolant hose is installed
• Caution: Do not use for fuel or oil transfer applications

Litens was the Original Equipment (O.E.) supplier of this BMW tensioner and offers this “O.E. Exact”* part for the aftermarket. This “O.E. Exact”* part for the aftermarket meets all original equipment form, fit, and function specifications. *(O.E. Exact – Original Equipment manufacturers prohibits the use of their part number or logo on parts sold to other customers. Therefore, the Litens aftermarket part may have minor cosmetic differences but still be exact in performance and design). Note: BMW used 2 different tensioner suppliers for this application so the original part you replace may look different. However the form, fit, and function specifications are the same. Choosing The Correct Replacement Part: Both the original equipment and Litens aftermarket tensioner use a round spring versus a flat spring and are marked “Made in Canada”. Litens is the world’s largest supplier of original equipment (O.E.) power transmission products. At Litens, we design systems that are more efficient, resulting in tangible fuel economy/emissions benefits. Litens holds over 2000 patents and continues to respond to the ever-changing automotive industry by investing heavily in new technology, facilities, and people. 90% of our line is made of products coming from the OE manufacturer, which makes the Litens Tensioning Products portfolio the purest OE tensioning line in the North American aftermarket.
