Air Intake Hose Pipe for BMW OEM 13717605638

Product Overview

Ordered against OEM 13717605638, this Air Intake Hose replaces the original part in the air intake tract on BMW vehicles. The carries filtered air from the airbox to the turbocharger inlet or throttle body, so form and fit are not negotiable. Because the part carries filtered air from the airbox to the turbocharger inlet or throttle body, a worn one rarely fails cleanly — expect hardened cuffs that no longer seal on the airbox spigot and splits along the convolutions long before it separates, with unmetered air downstream of the mass airflow sensor, a rough idle and airflow fault codes as the first complaint over the counter. We hold it as part of a cooling-system range of more than 4000 types built for the independent aftermarket in Europe, the Middle East and South America.

Key Benefits

• Sample-based production for parts not yet listed — Send the old part or a drawing and we quote from the sample, including mould development where no tool exists.
• Checked on the features that matter — Inspection concentrates on the bellows pitch, the connector geometry and the sensor port position — the dimensions that put a part back in the box if they are wrong.
• Matched to how the part actually fails — Hardened cuffs that no longer seal on the airbox spigot and splits along the convolutions are the reasons this reference is bought, so those are the features checked before packing.
• Aftermarket buyers, not one-off retail — Pricing and packing are set up for distributors and workshop chains buying by the carton, not for single-piece retail.

Application Scenarios

Rebuild of an obsolete platform

The original reference is no longer produced, so the part is made from a supplied sample. On this reference that means quoting 13717605638 with the quantity and letting the packing follow.

Mixed container for a distributor

A quarterly container is filled across families — intake, charge air, coolant and thermostat lines — to a single packing list. This reference, 13717605638, is bought for exactly that situation on BMW vehicles.

Scheduled cooling-system overhaul

The vehicle is in for a coolant leak and the workshop replaces the whole branch at once rather than chasing the next failure in a month. With 13717605638 on the list the rest of the air intake tract can be priced at the same time.

Who It Is For

• Aftermarket distributors — stocking cooling-system lines for BMW across a regional network and needing a reference-accurate catalogue behind the shelf. They judge 13717605638 on one thing: whether it matches the part that came off.
• Workshop and fast-fit chains — replacing air intake hoses on BMW daily and judging a supplier on whether the part fits first time. They order 13717605638 by the carton and reorder against the same number.
• Online parts sellers — listing by OEM reference, where a mismatched number turns into a return and a negative rating. For them 13717605638 is a line on a shelf, not a project.

Problems It Solves

Parts that are no longer produced

When the original reference is dropped, the repair still exists. Sample-based production and mould development keep the line alive. On 13717605638 that is settled before the quotation goes out.

Returns from wrong fitment

Every returned part costs the freight twice. Checking the bellows pitch, the connector geometry and the sensor port position before despatch is cheaper than a credit note. On 13717605638 that is settled before the quotation goes out.

Long lead times on slow movers

A slow line ordered alone waits for a container. Consolidated with fast movers it travels on the same shipment. With 13717605638 the check is the bellows pitch, the connector geometry and the sensor port position, and it happens before despatch.

Technical Features

The part serves the air intake tract and carries filtered air from the airbox to the turbocharger inlet or throttle body. It is moulded in PA66 glass-filled nylon, chosen because glass-filled PA66 gives a rigid pipe that holds its shape against vibration and keeps clamp faces dimensionally stable at under-bonnet temperature.

Used where the part must hold a fixed geometry and carry bolted or clipped interfaces. PA66 mouldings crack rather than weep, so a hairline split can empty a coolant system quickly once it opens.

Specifications

Values marked TBC are not stated on the source catalogue. They are confirmed in writing on the quotation rather than estimated here.

Comparison With the Alternatives

Use Guide

1. Confirm the reference

   Match OEM 13717605638 against the number on the part you removed. Do not match on outline alone.

2. Check the interfaces

   Compare the bellows pitch, the connector geometry and the sensor port position before the vehicle is stripped further.

3. Inspect on arrival

   Look for transit damage on sealing faces and connectors. PA66 mouldings crack rather than weep, so a hairline split can empty a coolant system quickly once it opens.

4. Fit with the original clamp style

   Reuse the clamp type the BMW platform was designed around, and fit any seal or O-ring supplied with 13717605638 rather than carrying the old one over.

5. Pressure check before handover

   Refill, bleed the circuit and check for splits along the convolutions at working temperature before the vehicle leaves.
