$4.80
The 1K0 122 291C coolant hose flange by VAICO is an OE-quality replacement used on a wide range of Volkswagen and Audi applications. This straight connector serves as a sealed junction point in the engine cooling circuit, securing coolant hose connections and ensuring proper coolant routing between the engine, radiator, and heater circuit to maintain stable operating temperatures and correct system pressure.
With age and repeated heat cycles, plastic coolant flanges can become brittle, warp at the sealing surface, or develop cracks at the hose connection points. This leads to coolant seepage, unexplained reservoir level drops, low-coolant warnings, and potential engine overheating. Replacing the worn unit with VAICO 1K0 122 291C restores a tight, dependable connection and reliable cooling system performance.
A failing coolant hose flange typically presents as visible coolant residue or active seepage at one of the hose connection points. The coolant reservoir may drop gradually without a clear external cause. Physical inspection of the flange often reveals surface cracking, brittleness, or deformation, which experiences greater directional stress. Left unaddressed, a fully failed flange can result in rapid coolant loss and engine overheating. Proactive replacement avoids more costly repairs.
