2.8 top hose

[Slam]

so today I changed my thermostat and housing and now my temp gauge goes to the middle so all good there, but I noticed the top hose quick release to thermostat housing has a crack. This afternoon I have searched the web for a new top hose and can get 1 from America or Australia but all the uk ones seem to be the hose only has anybody bought one in the uk or is it gonna be main dealer.

Main dealer will likely be the easiest. Have you found the PN from realoem.com and tried googling that?

No never heard of that before I will have a little look now. Thank you

Ah, visit the site with the last 7 digits of your VIN number (you'll find Z3 in the classic section). Then it will give you a set of expanding diagrams breaking down everything on your particular model.

You can also use it to find out if the part you are looking for is also used in different BMW models. For example, searching for an E36 door actuator will generally result in cheaper prices than a Z3 door actuator
