Purpose and Role in the Air Conditioning System
The air conditioning hose/pipe in BMW X3 F97 and X4 F98 models is responsible for safely routing the refrigerant between the compressor and other system components. A correctly selected hose is crucial for:
- maintaining system seal and stable operating pressure,
- protecting the air conditioning compressor from operating under incorrect conditions,
- ensuring uniform interior cooling of the vehicle under various load conditions.
This component works directly with parts from the air conditioning compressors and clutches category, so its proper fit is important for both the compressor's durability and user comfort.
Construction and Fit for BMW X3 F97 / X4 F98
The offered air conditioning hose is a BMW branded part, meaning it retains factory geometry, connection diameters, and mounting points. Thanks to this:
- it fits original brackets and mounts in the engine bay of BMW X3 F97 and X4 F98,
- it ensures correct refrigerant flow without the risk of kinks or unwanted stress,
- it minimizes the risk of leaks at connections with the compressor and other system components.
Using a hose with factory-equivalent specifications is particularly important in modern BMW models, where the air conditioning system operates within strictly defined pressure and temperature ranges.
Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part
The air conditioning hose is a used part, sourced from dismantling. Such components, when maintaining their seal and free from mechanical damage, serve very well as an economical alternative to new parts. Choosing an original used hose allows you to:
- maintain factory system operating parameters at a lower repair cost,
- avoid fitting issues typical of aftermarket parts with imprecise geometry,
- reduce installation time due to compatibility with the original BMW installation.
For workshops specializing in the BMW brand and for owners who care about the technical integrity of their vehicle, a used OEM part is a sensible compromise between quality and service cost.
Application in Air Conditioning Service and Diagnostics
Replacement of the air conditioning hose is recommended in situations where the following have been identified:
- system leaks around connections or along the hose length,
- corrosion or mechanical damage (abrasions, cracks, deformations),
- problems maintaining pressure after filling the system with refrigerant.
Selecting a hose dedicated to BMW X3 F97 / X4 F98 facilitates subsequent service operations, including leak tests, system filling, and diagnostics of the air conditioning compressor and clutch operation.
