Renault Twingo II MK2 2007-2014 1.2 Upper Radiator Coolant Hose 8200369332

This hose has been visually cross-matched against catalogue reference 8200369332. Vehicle year and model alone are not enough to guarantee cooling-system hose fitment.

Before ordering, compare the reference number, hose shape, end diameters, bends, protective sleeve and connection positions with your existing component.

If there is any doubt, ask us to perform a compatibility check through eBay Messages before purchase. VIN verification is the preferred method.

Useful numbers for comparison with catalogues and your removed hose:

Cross-reference numbers are supplied to help identification. A cross-reference appearing in a catalogue is not a substitute for checking the removed component and VIN.

Conservative catalogue applications only. Final confirmation should be made using VIN + reference number.

This component forms part of the engine cooling system. Catalogue equivalents position it in the upper / upper-right area of the cooling circuit. It carries hot, pressurised coolant between cooling-system connections so that heat can be transferred away from the engine.

• Coolant level dropping without an obvious external cause.
• Wetness, staining or dried coolant deposits around the hose or connections.
• Sweet coolant smell from the engine bay.
• Steam from the engine compartment.
• Bulging, cracking, hardening or excessive softness in the hose wall.
• Leakage around a clamp or connection point.
• Engine temperature rising above normal.
• Cooling fan operating more frequently than expected.

Cooling hoses are moulded to follow a specific route through a crowded engine bay. Correct bend angles, connection diameters, clamp positions, clearance from moving components and protection from nearby heat sources all matter.

A serviceable original manufacturer component was produced around the vehicle's intended installation geometry. Cheap or poorly matched pattern components may differ in routing, wall construction or connection geometry. Whatever part you buy, condition and correct reference-number identification remain essential.

Buying a quality used component also avoids paying new-part pricing. Depending on the component and current new retail price, used vehicle parts can sometimes represent savings approaching 70%. Actual saving varies by part and market price.

1. Park the vehicle safely and allow the engine to become completely cold.
2. Confirm the replacement hose against the removed component: reference, bends, diameters, protective sleeve and connection points.
3. Place a suitable coolant drain container beneath the work area.
4. Drain sufficient coolant using the manufacturer-approved procedure so that the hose can be removed without uncontrolled spillage.
5. Note the original hose and clamp positions before disturbing them.
6. Compress the spring clamps using suitable hose-clamp pliers and move them away from the connection beads.
7. Carefully rotate and release the old hose. Avoid levering against plastic coolant connections, which can become brittle with age.
8. Inspect and clean the mating spigots. Check for corrosion, cracks or damaged sealing surfaces.
9. Fit the replacement hose in the same orientation, ensuring the protective sleeve and bends sit naturally without twisting or rubbing.
10. Reposition the clamps behind the connection retaining beads in their original locations. Replace any clamp that is damaged or no longer provides suitable tension.
11. Refill only with the correct coolant specification determined from the vehicle VIN/service data.
12. Bleed the cooling system using the correct vehicle-specific procedure.
13. Run the engine to operating temperature while monitoring for leaks, abnormal temperature and correct heater operation.
14. Allow the vehicle to cool completely, recheck coolant level and inspect every disturbed connection again before normal use.

Indicative workshop time for a straightforward hose replacement is approximately 0.5 to 1.0 labour hour. Access, seized clips, broken fittings, coolant replacement and bleeding can increase the time.

Labour figures are examples only and exclude coolant, additional parts, diagnostic work and unexpected repairs. Actual garage rates vary.

Installation and workshop repair services may be available subject to workshop capacity and prior arrangement. Please contact us using the eBay messaging facility before travelling.

International delivery is offered to eligible destinations through eBay's Global Shipping Programme where the item and destination qualify. eBay currently makes the programme available across more than 100 markets.

Exact international availability, delivery charges, import charges and destination eligibility are shown by eBay at checkout and can change over time.

Where this sale is entered under the Global Accounting VAT Margin Scheme, VAT is accounted for within the applicable margin and is not shown separately. There is therefore no separately itemised VAT amount for the buyer to reclaim.

Please check the photograph, hose routing, reference number and VIN before fitting. Do not order solely because your vehicle is the same model or registration year.

If you are unsure, request a compatibility check through eBay Messages before purchase. This is considerably quicker and cheaper for everyone than fitting the wrong component.

Returns are handled in accordance with the return policy shown on the eBay listing and applicable eBay rules. Any deduction for loss in value is made only where eBay's rules permit it, for example where an eligible seller receives an item back in a materially diminished condition.

Parts are selected from stock, checked against the sold inventory item, securely packed and prepared for collection by the appropriate delivery carrier.

Because the photographs above show the actual used component, please use them to assess cosmetic condition and included fittings before purchasing.

Purchasing a serviceable used vehicle component keeps an existing part in productive use rather than requiring another usable component to be discarded. Reusing parts can help reduce waste and the demand for manufacturing, packaging and transporting a newly produced replacement.

Every order also supports an independent local automotive parts business working to recover, identify, store and return usable vehicle components to the road.
