Air Intake Hose Pipe for BMW OEM 13718626487

Product Overview

Ordered against OEM 13718626487, 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

• Mixed pallets instead of single lines — A cooling-system range of more than 4000 types means a slow-moving line can travel with fast movers instead of being ordered on its own.
• Tooling route for obsolete references — Where the reference is out of production, we develop the mould from the sample you supply rather than turning the enquiry away.
• 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.

Application Scenarios

Breakdown repair

The vehicle is off the road and the part has to be right the first time, which makes the reference match the whole decision. For 13718626487 the practical step is confirming the bellows pitch, the connector geometry and the sensor port position before the order is placed.

Rebuild of an obsolete platform

The original reference is no longer produced, so the part is made from a supplied sample. Here the air intake hose is ordered against 13718626487 and travels with the rest of the BMW branch.

Mixed container for a distributor

A quarterly container is filled across families — intake, charge air, coolant and thermostat lines — to a single packing list. For 13718626487 the practical step is confirming the bellows pitch, the connector geometry and the sensor port position before the order is placed.

Who It Is For

• Workshop and fast-fit chains — replacing air intake hoses on BMW daily and judging a supplier on whether the part fits first time. For them 13718626487 is a line on a shelf, not a project.
• Online parts sellers — listing by OEM reference, where a mismatched number turns into a return and a negative rating. 13718626487 earns its shelf space through repeat demand on BMW platforms.
• Fleet and bus operators — running BMW vehicles past warranty and buying cooling-system parts by the box to keep downtime short. They judge 13718626487 on one thing: whether it matches the part that came off.

Problems It Solves

Unclear compound

PA66 mouldings crack rather than weep, so a hairline split can empty a coolant system quickly once it opens. That is why 13718626487 carries its full cross-reference set on this page.

Reference mismatch

Visually identical parts carry different connector geometry between model years. Quoting OEM 13718626487 fixes the identity before money moves. For this air intake hose the answer is the reference, 13718626487, on every document.

Split ordering

Sourcing one hose from one supplier and the matching flange from another doubles the freight and the paperwork for the same repair. On 13718626487 that is settled before the quotation goes out.

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.

Comparison With the Alternatives

Use Guide

1. Confirm the reference

   Match OEM 13718626487 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 13718626487 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.
