Definitely recommend getting better O rings for these. Slight leak from the o-rings provided after pressure test.

Bought these expecting them to meet OEM spec. Most, myself included, would think that a copy cat would copy the OEM product to be a correct fit. Not so, the ends that meet the OEM hoses that have the internal o-ring, this reproduction has a smaller size, and when attached, Leak....BADLY. I had a stream of coolant coming out of the connection. Do not re-install your intake manifold only to find this leak after..... removing the intake manifold is a PIA to begin with, to do it twice is stupid.... Don't buy this product unless you enjoy the unnecessary work. If you are a shop...... avoid the cost of a total re-work on your dime.Update.... After the RE-removal of the intake manifold. I removed the leaking parts I bought here. Before delivering this car back to the owner, I noticed another coolant leak. not just at the rubber hose connection to the plastic pipe as above, but at where these enter into the cylinder head and the block. There are two O-Rings at these connections. It seems that both pipes were leaking. Having both the OEM and the A-Premium product out of the car, I decided to measure the crucial points on both the OEM parts and the the product purchased on amazon. There is a 10-30 thousands of an inch smaller size at both ends of these pipes. Definitely NOT to an OEM speck. I had to buy Larger (Fatter) 3.5mm o-rings to get these to seal.Please consider this when buying these Chinese reproductions. Do not re-install your intake manifold until you check for the leaks..... just remember that your coolant system isn't under pressure about 14 psi until it is at operating temp, the leak is even more likely to appear at operating temp.I took pictures of the measurements, On the Hose ends - 14-30 ths of an inch smaller, on the block/head end 10-15ths of an inch smaller.... both needing a larger(thicker) O-Rings to make a seal.

I thought I’d try these out on my freshly rebuilt e46. Price is good, but quality isn’t there as you can assume with anything cheap. Installed them into the BRAND NEW and clean head, went to bleed the coolant and the second coolant got to the head of the motor it started leaking from not just where the pipes go into the head, but also where it connects to the rubber hoses for the rad. Not only leaking on one pipe, but on both of them, so 4/4 connections were leaking.Since these are under the intake manifold, it had to be removed to get access to these pipes. Overall I do not recommend these to anyone as it’s a ton of work to access them, just spend the extra $60 or so and purchase a better brand.

Part fits and installs just as OE. Shipping was quick and part was very affordable.

I needed it in an emergency and it worked perfectly for my e46. Everything went easy...I'm not sure about the o-rings as I use my own but everything fits and matches up nicely.

These hoses worked fine with my 2001 330CI. For assurance, I put a coat of RTV silicone on both coolant lines on the o-ring side. No leaks so far but I'll update if they do leak. The only issue I had was the lower coolant line that bolts to the back of the thermostat, the bottom bolt hole mount didn't line up perfectly. I took that as my mistake not seating the line exactly. But it worked out fine.

This is an above average diy fix but can be done. I depend on reviews before buying and took a chance on these because of mixed reviews. We were on a time crunch. To my surprise they worked great and we had no leaks. Can't rate on longevity but they fit perfectly and more importantly didn't leak.
