REDOX Silicone Radiator to Water Pump Hose Citroën XM 2.0i 1990

Definition and Technical Specifications

This REDOX high-performance silicone hose connects the radiator to the water pump in the engine cooling system of the Citroën XM 2.0i model year 1990. Manufactured from reinforced VMQ silicone with 3-ply construction and 4mm wall thickness, it advantageously replaces the original rubber hose prone to thermal degradation and cracking.

REDOX silicone offers exceptional temperature resistance from -50°C to +180°C, optimal sealing and significantly superior durability compared to standard rubber. This hose is manufactured by manual winding then oven-vulcanized to guarantee consistent quality and optimal performance.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a silicone hose over original rubber? REDOX silicone withstands high temperatures and thermal variations far better than rubber. It doesn't crack, expand or lose elasticity over time, eliminating risks of leakage and engine overheating.

What does the lifetime warranty cover? The REDOX lifetime warranty covers all manufacturing defects, cracks, deformations and sealing losses due to silicone quality, under normal automotive use.

Should I replace hose clamps during installation? It is strongly recommended to replace hose clamps with new quality clamps during installation to ensure optimal clamping and prevent any leakage.

What is the delivery time for this hose? The hose is permanently stocked. Same-day dispatch for orders before 5pm, GLS delivery within 24-48h across France and Europe.

Can I use this hose with standard coolant? Yes, REDOX silicone is compatible with all types of automotive coolant: glycol, organic (OAT), hybrid (HOAT) and LHM fluids.

How can I check if my original hose needs replacement? Visually inspect your hose: if it shows cracks, a cracked appearance, soft or hard texture, or if you notice fluid traces, immediate replacement is required.
