Vaico V20-0865 Radiator Coolant Hose - Lower

Radiator Coolant Hose for BMW Cooling Systems

Vaico V20-0865 is a radiator coolant hose that routes coolant from the thermostat to the radiator. Built for BMW cooling system service, it supports proper coolant flow in the lower hose position and matches the dimensions needed for a direct-fit replacement.

Use this hose when servicing a BMW 325Ci, 325i, 325xi, 328Ci, 328i, 330Ci, 330i, or 330xi cooling circuit and you need a replacement that follows the original thermostat-to-radiator routing. The VAICO line focuses on application-specific replacement parts for European vehicles, and V20-0865 follows that approach with fitment targeted to the E46-era BMW platform.
