WTB/ISO: M20 complete coolant system hose kit, anyone know a site at least?

[R1ckM]

Hey, i'm flushing a coolant system that was contaminated with oil. So all the rubber hoses need to be replaced.

I checked a little online, all I can find are rubber hose kits for $140 or a silicone hose kit for $70-$90.

I don't want to use silicone and am looking for rubber hoses but theres gotta be a cheaper set/kit out there.

Anyone know a good way to get these new and for less than mentioned above?

Thanks

There is a documented procedure in the Bentley manual (section 7 page 20) for cleaning oil out of the radiator and coolant overflow tank using a product called Solvethane. I’m not sure if the product can be used to clean up the whole system, or if it only can be used in the radiator and the overflow tank.

BavAuto.com has complete hose and clamp a kit for $102. Their site says it fits my ‘92 325iC, but not sure about your car. Find it here:

Good luck!

I'm not convinced that replacing all of the rubber hoses is necessary.

Rubber hose wont care to much if its had a bit of oil on it?

I agree.
