Product Details

This Continental molded hose is engineered for the upper pipe-to-radiator connection on 2007-2014 Mini Cooper applications. The molded profile helps maintain the original routing and connection geometry, while the EPDM construction is selected for coolant-system service. Part number 66894 is also a direct reference for buyers searching for a Mini Cooper upper radiator hose replacement or Continental 66894 coolant hose.

Continental’s Molded line focuses on OE-style hose shapes and dimensions for vehicles that require a specific formed fit. For this application, the molded design supports the factory layout used on the Mini Cooper cooling system, helping maintain proper hose alignment at the radiator connection. This part cross-references Dayco 72586 for the same application.

Common Cooling System Issues Addressed

• Cracked or aged upper radiator hose
• Coolant seepage at the hose connection
• Softening or swelling from heat and coolant exposure
• Incorrect hose shape after prior replacement
• Loss of factory-style routing at the pipe-to-radiator connection

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify hose diameter and routing before installation. This hose is listed for the upper - pipe to radiator position on 2007-2014 Mini Cooper models, so confirm the original hose path and connection points match the vehicle before removal. Inspect clamps, radiator necks, and adjoining pipes for wear or corrosion, and refill the cooling system with the correct glycol-based coolant after installation.

Quality Assurance

Continental states that the EPDM tube, EPDM cover, and synthetic reinforcement meet or exceed SAE 20R4EC Class D1 specifications. The exact OEM configuration is intended to provide a precise replacement fit for Mini Cooper cooling system service. Part number 66894 is built for consistent radiator hose replacement in the specified application.
