Detailed Description

Dayco 73060 is a radiator coolant hose engineered for the lower radiator connection on select Volkswagen Tiguan and Tiguan Limited models. The EPDM rubber construction is suited for coolant service, while the formed curved profile helps match the routing used in the vehicle’s cooling system. With 1 1/4 inch inside diameters at both ends, this hose is specified for the radiator-to-adapter and radiator-to-tee positions listed below. The protective sleeve adds an extra layer where the hose passes near surrounding components. If you are replacing a worn lower radiator hose on a Volkswagen Tiguan, Dayco 73060 provides a direct-fit service part for the application.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose routing, end diameters, and connection points before installation. Inspect the radiator neck, tee, adapter, and clamps for wear or corrosion, and replace damaged mating parts as needed. Confirm that the protective sleeve is positioned correctly during installation so the hose follows the original lower radiator path on the Volkswagen Tiguan or Tiguan Limited.
