Expansion tank hose

[Bmwpower603]

I’ve been eager to replace my expansion tank, and hoses. I cannot find the same hose that I currently have installed. It appears to have a different hose clamp.

It's like a decorative cover over a crimp clamp that's all

That’s pretty cool! I wonder if the car originally came with that?

What do you guys use to crimp those? The ear clamps , or there’s some that aren’t as heavy duty.

It's cool until you realize it requires another special tool. It can be replaced with a normal screw hose clamp.

Be careful of the hard plastic hose further down the line. It will break if touched.
