Intercooler Hose Pipe for BMW OEM 13717583716

Product Overview

Intercooler Hose Pipe for BMW OEM 13717583716 is a direct-reference replacement for the charge air circuit of BMW vehicles. It is listed here against OEM 13717605638 and 13717583716, so the part can be matched to a vehicle without guesswork. In service the part carries pressurised charge air between the turbocharger, the intercooler and the inlet manifold. When it fails it usually shows split necks next to the quick-connect collar and delamination where charge air temperature peaks, and the driver sees boost loss under load, limp mode and a measurable drop in charge pressure. It sits inside a cooling-system programme of more than 4000 types, so the same order can carry the neighbouring hoses, flanges and thermostat housings for the platform.

Key Benefits

• 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.
• Inspection before despatch — Parts are inspected before they leave, which for this family means checking the sealing faces and the connector geometry that decide whether it fits.
• Matched to how the part actually fails — Split necks next to the quick-connect collar and delamination where charge air temperature peaks 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. With 13717605638 on the list the rest of the charge air circuit can be priced at the same time.

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. On this reference that means quoting 13717605638 with the quantity and letting the packing follow.

Who It Is For

• Workshop and fast-fit chains — replacing turbo and intercooler hoses on BMW daily and judging a supplier on whether the part fits first time. 13717605638 earns its shelf space through repeat demand on BMW platforms.
• 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.
• Fleet and bus operators — running BMW vehicles past warranty and buying cooling-system parts by the box to keep downtime short. They order 13717605638 by the carton and reorder against the same number.

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 cuff diameters, the bend angle and the clamp or quick-connect style at each end before despatch is cheaper than a credit note. For BMW buyers it is the difference between a stocked line and a credit note on 13717605638.

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. For this turbo and intercooler hose the answer is the reference, 13717605638, on every document.

Technical Features

The part serves the charge air circuit and carries pressurised charge air between the turbocharger, the intercooler and the inlet manifold. 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 and 13717583716 against the number on the part you removed. Do not match on outline alone.

2. Check the interfaces

   Compare the cuff diameters, the bend angle and the clamp or quick-connect style at each end 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 blown cuffs at clamp joints at working temperature before the vehicle leaves.
