This is a bottom radiator hose designed to connect the engine's water pump to the radiator, facilitating the flow of coolant for engine temperature regulation. It is constructed from durable, heat-resistant rubber compounds that withstand engine vibration and coolant pressure, unlike a cracked or collapsed hose. Operators may observe coolant leaks under the vehicle, a rising engine temperature gauge, or steam escaping from the engine bay when this hose fails.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Fitment: Volvo Trucks: Renault Trucks: FH13: 2006> 2007, FM13: 2006> 2007, Renault Trucks:
Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
The first indication of a failing bottom radiator hose is often a visible coolant leak, typically seen as puddles under the front of the truck. If the hose ruptures, the engine will rapidly overheat, potentially leading to steam release. The critical risk is severe engine damage due to overheating if the cooling system loses all its coolant.
Ensure the connection surfaces on the radiator and water pump are clean and free of old gasket material before installing the new hose. Do not use excessive force when sliding the hose clamps, as this can damage the hose or connection point.
When replacing the radiator hose, it is recommended to inspect the upper radiator hose, thermostat, and water pump for any signs of wear or leakage.
