Description

BMW E36 318 (92-99) Mishimoto silicone radiator hose kit

The Mishimoto hoses E36 318 replace the rubber radiator hoses of the four-cylinder BMW E36 318 series from 1992 to 1999 with silicone hoses. Rubber coolant hoses become hard and porous over time, and a burst hose means immediate overheating.

The hoses have a dual layer of high-grade silicone with embedded heat-resistant fibres. They withstand up to 166 °C, tolerate more pressure than rubber and fit like the original hoses. An affordable upgrade that makes the cooling system of your 318 more reliable, in red or black.

Installation and delivery

The hoses fit in the original locations and use the existing connections. Mishimoto rates the installation as easy. Replace worn hose clamps at the same time and bleed the cooling system carefully after filling. Lead time: 4 to 7 days.

Silicone instead of aged rubber: the cheapest insurance against a burst coolant hose in your 318.

Why choose these Mishimoto hoses E36 318?

A four-cylinder E36 used for drift or track days also deserves a reliable cooling system. These silicone hoses last much longer than rubber, handle heat and pressure better and fit without modifications. Mishimoto backs them with a lifetime warranty.
