Continental 67227 Radiator Coolant Hose - Lower - Radiator To Thermostat

Radiator Coolant Hose Overview

Continental 67227 is a molded radiator coolant hose for BMW cooling system service. It transfers glycol-based coolant between the radiator and other coolant system components, with fitment for lower radiator-to-thermostat applications on select BMW models.

This hose is built to meet or exceed SAE 20R4EC Class D1 requirements for radiator hose performance. The molded shape and integrated quick-connect fitment details support a direct replacement for the original coolant hose layout.

Key Features

• Molded radiator coolant hose for coolant transfer in the engine cooling system
• Meets or exceeds SAE 20R4EC Class D1 specifications
• 1.813 in. inside diameter at both ends
• 13.500 in. overall length
• Fits lower radiator-to-thermostat routing on select BMW applications

Detailed Description

Continental 67227 is a molded radiator coolant hose engineered for coolant circulation between the radiator and thermostat housing area. It is specified for select BMW 128i, 328i, 328i xDrive, 328xi, 323i, 325i, 330i, and 330xi applications, with fitment notes that include quick connects and temperature sensor provisions on the listed vehicles. The part number 67227 is useful when replacing a worn or leaking hose in the cooling system, especially where the original routing uses a molded shape rather than a universal straight hose.

Continental’s Molded line focuses on application-specific hose construction for cooling system service. This part cross-references Gates 23420 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a cracked or softened radiator coolant hose
• Restoring coolant flow between the radiator and thermostat
• Addressing coolant seepage at molded hose connections
• Correcting fitment issues caused by an incorrect straight hose
• Servicing BMW cooling systems with quick-connect style routing

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, model, and lower radiator-to-thermostat routing before installation. Match the hose ends and molded shape to the original part, and confirm quick-connect and temperature sensor provisions against the removed hose. Use clean mating surfaces and inspect adjacent cooling system components for wear before reassembly.

Quality Assurance

Continental states that this hose meets or exceeds SAE 20R4EC Class D1 specifications for radiator hose performance. The 67227 part number is built for application-specific cooling system replacement on the listed BMW models.
