Description
Lower Radiator Hose Material for Peugeot 206 Type 5
(Lower radiator hose for Peugeot 206 Type 5 and Rana)
This hose is produced in two material classes: EPDM and SBR, meaning it is made with either high-quality (EPDM) or standard (SBR) materials.
The hose uses 600-thread polyester series fabric, which is crucial for preventing leaks, minimizing water loss, and providing anti-freeze properties to the hose.
