BMW Repair: radiator hose, bmw 740ia, radiator hose


Question
My 1998 BMW 740IA started to overheat, i pulled over and found that the radiator hose broke off the connection to the radiator, do i need to buy a whole new radiator or can i just buy a new connection for the hose??

Answer
You cant but just that bit I am afraid.

You can sometimes just connect the hose to whats remaining on the radiator.
I would do this 1st if possible to check its not still overheating for another reason,i;e what made it crack in the 1st place!

They are a weak point and hopefully thats all thats wrong with it

You dont want to blow a new radiator.

Good luck
