Used Truck Coolant Hoses, Heater Pipes, Clamps & Fittings

Used truck cooling hoses, clamps & fittings for European HGVs

Cooling system hoses and fittings are critical for keeping a heavy truck engine at the correct operating temperature. Shaped radiator hoses, coolant vent lines, heater pipes and hose clamps carry coolant between the engine, radiator, expansion tank and cab heater matrix. On modern European lorries these parts are designed for a specific engine family and cab layout, with pre-formed bends, quick-connect fittings and brackets to keep the hoses clear of belts and moving parts.

In this category we offer used OEM radiator and coolant hoses, heater coolant pipes, vent lines and associated clamps and fittings removed from complete donor trucks. Typical examples include lower radiator outlet hoses for DAF XF/CF Euro 6, coolant hoses and vent lines for Mercedes-Benz Actros MP4, and heater coolant pipe sets and check valves for MAN TGS/TGX. Stock changes regularly as new donor vehicles arrive.

What you will find in the Hoses, Clamps & Fittings category

Stock in the Hoses, Clamps & Fittings category changes as we dismantle additional vehicles, but it typically includes:

• radiator hoses – upper and lower hoses connecting the radiator to the engine block or thermostat housing;
• shaped coolant hoses that run between the engine, expansion tank, EGR cooler and other cooling components;
• heater coolant pipes and hoses feeding the cab heater matrix, including rigid metal pipes and flexible connections;
• coolant vent hoses and lines designed to bleed air from high points in the cooling circuit back to the expansion tank;
• charge air and coolant crossover hoses where these interface with the main cooling module;
• hose clamps, quick-connect fittings and brackets supplied where they are still attached to the hose or pipe.

Each listing includes clear photos, OE/OEM part numbers where available and donor vehicle details, so you can compare hose routing, connection types and diameters with the cooling parts fitted to your own truck.

Truck brands & typical applications

Most cooling hoses and fittings in this category are taken from mainstream European heavy trucks, including:

• DAF XF and CF series, such as Euro 6 radiator outlet hoses and shaped coolant hoses;
• Mercedes-Benz Actros MP4 and MP5 tractors and rigids, including radiator coolant hoses, vent lines and heater hoses;
• MAN TGS and TGX long-haul and construction trucks, including heater coolant pipe sets and check valves;
• Volvo FH and FM long-distance and regional haulage trucks;
• other brands such as Scania and Iveco when suitable donor trucks are available.

Because these parts are genuine OEM components removed from complete vehicles, they usually match a specific engine family, Euro emission class and cab configuration, which is important for correct fit and reliable cooling performance.

Why cooling hoses, clamps & fittings matter

A healthy cooling system is essential for any working HGV:

• Engine protection – correctly sized and routed hoses maintain stable coolant flow, helping to prevent overheating, head gasket failure and cracked cylinder heads;
• Cab comfort & defrosting – heater hoses and pipes deliver hot coolant to the cab heater matrix for demisting and driver comfort in cold weather;
• Leak prevention – quality OEM hose material and proper clamps reduce the risk of leaks, coolant loss and unplanned roadside stops;
• Compliance & uptime – a sound cooling system helps keep the vehicle within emission and temperature limits, reducing downtime and workshop costs.

Typical reasons to replace a cooling hose or fitting

Common reasons to order parts from this category include:

• visible cracks, perishing or bulging of rubber hoses after years of heat cycling;
• soft spots or swelling caused by internal degradation or contamination;
• coolant leaks around hose ends, T-pieces or quick-connect fittings despite re-tightening the clamp;
• physical damage to rigid pipes or hoses after contact with moving parts, road debris or previous repairs;
• corroded or broken clamps and brackets that no longer secure the hose correctly;
• converting from a non-original hose to the correct OEM cooling hose or pipe for your engine and cab layout.

How to choose the correct cooling hose or fitting

To minimise fitting issues and ensure the correct flow and routing, please check the following details before ordering:

• truck brand, model and generation – for example DAF XF106, Mercedes Actros MP4, MAN TGX Euro 6, Volvo FH4;
• engine type and code – such as OM470/OM471 on Mercedes tractors, which may use specific hose shapes;
• exact location in the cooling circuit – upper or lower radiator hose, heater feed or return, vent hose, by-pass hose, etc.;
• hose diameter and shape – internal diameter, number of bends, presence of moulded T-pieces or reducers;
• connection type – plain hose to be clamped, plastic quick connector, union fitting or banjo connection;
• OEM part numbers printed or moulded on your original hose or pipe, matched against the references shown in the product description.

If you are unsure, you can contact us with your VIN or registration number and clear photos of the existing hose routing and connections. Our team can help you confirm compatibility before you place an order. For general guidance, see How to Find the Right Part and Compatibility & VIN Policy.

Used OEM cooling hoses from dismantled trucks

VRA Truckparts specialises in used OEM truck parts sourced from carefully selected donor vehicles. Trucks are inspected and documented before dismantling so that engines, cooling modules and pipework can be assessed. During dismantling, our technicians remove the coolant and heater hoses and pipes, check for obvious damage, excessive soft spots or kinks, and reject any components that do not meet our standards.

Usable hoses and pipes are cleaned externally, labelled with OEM references where available and stored under cover in our warehouse ready for dispatch. To learn more about how we work, please visit Our Dismantling & Quality Process, Warranty & Part Condition and Trucks We Dismantle.
