CRP Automotive has introduced two versions of the upgraded Rein Coolant Hose Metal Connector (CRP Part Nos. CHU0940 & CHK0940) for BMW B58 6 Cyl. 3.0L engine applications.
The CHU0940 version includes an upgraded aluminum connector and necessary gasket, while the CHK0940 version also features a temperature sensor for easy installation.
Feedback from the CRP Automotive Innovation Council identified the OE plastic connector as a common failure point due to brittleness and cracking from thermal cycling and hydrolysis. Hydrolysis, where water breaks down plastic or rubber, can lead to structural degradation and eventual failure. The upgraded Rein connectors, made from durable aluminum, address these issues by eliminating the common failure points associated with plastic connectors.
