Keep coolant flowing to the heater core with the GATES heater hose 51960, a premium modular coolant hose built for the specific routing from the cylinder head to the thermostat. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2011-2012 BMW X3 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level list). Gates is a leader in the modular assembly coolant hose segment, building each assembly to fit specific applications with OEM-exact integrated components such as quick connectors, branch connectors/tees, and sensors where the original design calls for them.

  • Layered construction: EPDM tube, synthetic fiber knit reinforcement, and a heat-, ozone- and chemical coolant-resistant EPDM cover.
  • Vacuum-rated: specifically-engineered materials resist collapse under vacuum.
  • Failure-resistant: engineered to resist electrochemical degradation, a leading cause of hose failure.
  • Standards: meets SAE 20R3 EC Class D1 under 25mm (1 in.) ID and SAE 20R4 EC Class D1 for 25mm (1 in.) ID and over; rated for -40°F to +257°F (-40°C to +125°C).

If a cracked, swollen, or leaking hose is behind weak cabin heat or coolant loss, this heater hose restores the correct routing on the listed application. Gates recommends replacing the clamps whenever a new coolant hose is installed. Do not use for fuel or oil transfer applications.
