Description
Radiator Upper Hose for Peugeot 206 Type 5 and Rana
This hose is manufactured in two production classes: EPDM and SBR. In other words, it is made using two types of materials — premium (EPDM) and standard (SBR). The yarn used in this hose is 600 series polyester thread. The most important advantage of this yarn is its application in the production of the radiator hose for Peugeot 206 Type 5 or Rana, which helps prevent water leakage, water loss, and provides antifreeze properties to the hose.
Long Lifespan of the Radiator Hose for Peugeot 206 Type 5
The lifespan of the upper radiator hose for 206 Type 5 and Rana depends on the type of material used in this critical rubber part. Therefore, if high-quality raw materials such as EPDM are used in the production of the Rana EX upper radiator hose, this rubber part will typically last around 4 years. If standard materials or SBR are used in the production of the radiator upper hose for Peugeot 206 Type 5 or Rana, the effective lifespan is usually between 6 months to 1 year.
Signs of Failure in the Upper Radiator Hose of 206 Type 5 and Rana EX
One of the clear signs of damage in the Peugeot 206 Type 5 or Rana upper radiator hose is cracking on the visible outer surface of the rubber hose. The deeper and more numerous the cracks, the more worn and brittle the hose is — and it must be replaced as soon as possible.
Another visible sign of damage is swelling or uneven bulging on the hose surface.
Additional symptoms of hose deterioration — including in the 206 Type 5 and Rana upper radiator hose — include flaking or a double-layered surface.
Consequences of a Faulty Upper Radiator Hose in Peugeot 206 Type 5
The most obvious effect of a defective upper radiator hose in the 206 Type 5 and Rana is a drop in radiator water level, which at the very least can lead to overheating of the vehicle’s wiring and cause serious damage.
However, the problem doesn’t stop there — a faulty upper radiator hose in the Peugeot 206 Type 5 or Rana can even result in a blown cylinder head due to excessive water loss.
How to Distinguish Between a Good and Bad Radiator Hose for Peugeot 206 Type 5
If the upper radiator hose for Peugeot 206 Type 5 and Rana is made of EPDM, it generally has a clear and smooth surface.
If it’s made from SBR, the surface tends to be dull and lacks the required clarity.
Another sign of a high-quality Rana EX radiator hose made from EPDM is that the surface is free of stains and not double-layered.
“Double-layered” is a term used for rubber hoses that essentially means the hose is of poor quality.
A Useful Tip for Identifying Good Hoses Without Proper Lighting or Time
One way to tell a good hose from a bad one — if you don’t have enough time or light to inspect the rubber product — is by smelling it.
Generally, a high-quality rubber hose for the Peugeot 206 Type 5 and Rana, especially if made from EPDM, will have a sweet scent.
