Gates HVAC Heater Hose P/N:18152
Keep engine coolant moving between the water pump and thermostat with the Gates heater hose 51961, a premium molded coolant hose that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2014 BMW X6. It's cataloged for the water pump to thermostat position, so it's pre-shaped to follow that routing and seat cleanly at both connections.
This molded heater hose meets the requirements of SAE 20R4, class D2 and DIN 73411, class A (except for tolerances), and handles a temperature range of -40°F to +257°F (-40°C to +125°C). Gates recommends installing new hose clamps whenever a coolant hose is replaced. Do not use it for fuel or oil transfer applications. If a cracked, swollen, or leaking coolant hose is the cause of your loss of coolant, this replaces it.
