• Applications: Ideal for when the original hose has become brittle, swollen, leaking or is due for renewal during engine service or cooling system overhaul.
The coolant hose is vital in maintaining proper engine temperature, protecting against overheating and ensuring the cooling system works as designed. A worn or damaged hose can lead to coolant leaks, engine overheating, poor heater performance or even severe engine damage. Replacing restores secure coolant flow, prevents failure and ensures your Porsche runs reliably.
When and why to replace:
• Visible cracks, bulging or brittleness in the original hose.
• Coolant leakage or low coolant level with no obvious external damage.
• Heating or cooling performance has reduced (e.g., slow warm-up or overheating).
• During scheduled cooling system service or when replacing other cooling system components.
• High-mileage vehicles where original hoses are showing signs of age and fatigue.
