After U90 recall service, drove less than 70mile, engine over heat on highway;

checked and find coolant hose broken.

Anyone knows the part number? I called dealership , their appointment has lined up till May

 

[tonyjia9]

Is this hose one piece or two pieces part that could be re-connected?

Thank you!

Thank you @mark!

After some online study, it looks like the hose (lower one clamped) and the press fit part (hard plastic with angle connected to the metal clamp in the middle) are two pieces, connected and tightened with clamp.

Am I right?

Thank you all your guys for suggestions and nice ideas. I was thinking the same as Gary did; purchase some rubber pipes from HomeDespot and wrap around the hose

After some more searches, I think this youtube video confirmed the hose is a heater hose connected to thermalstat:

Quite useful info; which was connected with horse shoe clamp. I think I can manage to install it.

since this is so cheap sub $20; decide to buy one instead of home depo wrap solution

Hope this would be useful for someone in the future with the same problem.

@rumrunner : you are right; the lower horse shoe connector is difficult to reach. Space is tight with a lot of interference to touch the connector

Decide to just order the part and have mechanics shop to install

I just tried to pull off the broken hose but only be successful to take off the top connector, not even with the press-in fitting

LOL! I actually did try your idea @Gary Kline ; I pull the hose#1 to the clear plastic adapter but it is tight and could not snap on.
I may try later to cut off the metal clamp on hose #1 and see whether it would make it easier.
