Any DIY sources for this repair?
Hi I have an e60 2007 525i and I was told by a reputable mechanic that I need to change the lower radiator hose ( Part # 17127521778) the temp sensor ( Part # 13621433077) and a 4 way hose that seems to be known as the return hose as well (Part # 17127560160). They want $1300 to do it but I can get the parts for no more than $300 so I'm trying to find any resources that shows a DIY of this procedure to gauge if it's something I'm capable of doing. The 4 way hose is giving me the most trouble as far as finding info online. I've done repairs on the car before but they all had ton of DIY resources I was able to watch and read before performing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Worth noting: I was told there was a coolant leak on the temp sensor of the lower radiator hose and that the 4 way hose looked swollen from a previous oil leak. This is why the need for replacements. |
Sounds like those are just recommendations. Is your car not running properly?

I had that too. Mine cracked when the water pump failed. Do the reservoir and if it's not that, then move on to the next suspect.
