$20.00
The 1K0 122 291BE coolant hose connector by Febi Bilstein is an OE-quality upper radiator coolant hose connector designed for select Volkswagen and Audi applications. This connector provides a sealed junction point in the engine cooling system, securing the upper radiator hose to the cooling circuit and helping maintain proper coolant flow and system pressure during normal operation.
With age and repeated heat cycles, plastic coolant connectors can become brittle, crack, or warp at the sealing surface. This leads to coolant seepage at the upper radiator connection, dried coolant residue around the fitting, low-coolant warnings, and potential engine overheating. Replacing the worn connector with the Febi 1K0 122 291BE restores a tight, leak-free seal and dependable coolant circulation.
A failing upper coolant hose connector typically presents as a visible coolant leak or dried residue near the upper radiator hose connection point. Coolant loss may cause the reservoir level to drop unexpectedly, triggering a low-coolant warning. In more advanced cases, the housing may show visible cracks or deformation at the sealing bore or hose barb. Left unaddressed, a failed connector can lead to sudden coolant loss and engine overheating. Inspecting and replacing the connector at the first sign of a leak is strongly recommended.
