Americas Coolant Line Not Secured

They say that they are designed to be loose. I have no idea if it's true.

From what I have been told, for the LHD vehicles, that is correct, the motion and freedom to move is intended to be there

My RHD petrol has a clip which according to the dealer isn't for the hose. They say that they are designed to be loose. I have no idea if it's true.

My LHD petrol has the same clip holding nothing. there may have been a redesign of the hoses perhaps.

Ive just checked my petrol Grenadier and have exactly the same issue but there is no obvious place to effect a temporary fix. I’m a long way from anywhere and need to sort this before any more rough roads. I’ve had a few things coming loose and falling out. I will report later via the thread logsplitters travels as internet not so good here, so can’t trawl through every thread.
On the border with Namibia/Angola at the moment in the most beautiful location for a spot of fishing for Tiger fish once I’ve secured a radiator pipe fix.

Thanks for sharing. Let us know of your fix!

One way to get instant hate from a mechanic. Please cut the cable/zip tie tails flush, no sharp points or edges. Those in the know will understand.

My LHD petrol has the same clip holding nothing. there may have been a redesign of the hoses perhaps.

I was told by the service department at our dealership that the unused clip on the engine side is a holdover from general BMW fitment.

It's hard to believe that all the hoses on LHD petrol models are meant to swing free.
