Installation Guide

The following steps outline a typical installation procedure for the Febi Bilstein 47713 Radiator Hose. Always consult your vehicle’s service manual before beginning.

1. Drain Coolant: Lower the radiator to allow coolant to drain into a suitable container. This prevents spills during hose removal.
2. Remove Old Hose: Loosen the clamps or fasteners securing the existing lower radiator hose. Carefully detach the hose from both the radiator and water pump.
3. Inspect Components: Check the radiator, water pump, and surrounding areas for leaks or damage that may need repair before installing the new hose.
4. Install New Hose: Align the pre‑cut ends of the 47713 hose with the corresponding fittings. Secure each end with clamps or fasteners, ensuring a snug fit without over-tightening.
5. Refill Coolant: Refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant mixture for your vehicle’s climate and operating conditions.
6. Bleed Air: Run the engine to circulate coolant and purge any trapped air from the system. Check for leaks at all connections.
7. Final Inspection: Verify that the hose remains tensioned correctly and that no signs of leakage appear after a short test drive.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect the hose for visible wear, cracks, or bulges. Replace immediately if any damage is observed.
• Ensure coolant levels remain within the recommended range to prevent overheating and hose stress.
• Avoid exposing the hose to extreme temperatures outside its operating range; use protective covers if necessary during hot weather.
