Detailed Product Overview

Rein CHR0256R is an OE-quality radiator hose designed for European vehicles that require an exact replacement rather than a universal hose. The hose follows the original size and shape requirements, including thermoplastic quick-connect fitment where applicable, to help restore proper coolant routing on BMW 528i models. This lower radiator to engine hose is black, uses EPDM material, and measures 16.75 inches centerline length with 1.58-inch inside diameter ends.

For BMW 528i cooling system service, this part number CHR0256R provides a direct-fit solution that aligns with the factory hose layout. This part cross-references URO 11531740481 for the same application.

What This Hose Helps Address

  • Coolant leaks from a worn or cracked radiator hose
  • Improper fit from a universal hose that requires trimming or modification
  • Repeat cooling system repairs caused by reusing old connectors or seals
  • Heat-related hose deterioration in the engine bay
  • Contamination damage from oil, salt, and road debris exposure

Installation Notes and Tips
