Intercooler Pipe Turbo Hose for BMW 13717609811

Product Overview

This Turbo and Intercooler Hose is supplied for BMW applications and is catalogued against OEM 13717609811 and 13717588268. Matching starts from the reference rather than from a picture, which is what keeps a container of parts out of the returns pile. 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. The part belongs to a cooling-system catalogue of more than 4000 types, which is the practical reason buyers consolidate a mixed pallet with us rather than splitting it across suppliers.

Key Benefits

• Built for the duty of the charge air circuit — The part carries pressurised charge air between the turbocharger, the intercooler and the inlet manifold, so the compound and the wall construction are matched to that circuit rather than to a generic hose spec.
• Export packing as standard — The range ships to Europe, the Middle East and South America, so cartons are packed for long sea legs rather than for a local van run.
• Ordered by reference not by photo — The listing carries OEM 13717609811 and 13717588268. You quote the number, we confirm against the same number, and the part that ships is the one on the invoice.
• 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.

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 13717609811 the practical step is confirming the cuff diameters, the bend angle and the clamp or quick-connect style at each end 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. This reference, 13717609811, is bought for exactly that situation on BMW vehicles.

Mixed container for a distributor

A quarterly container is filled across families — intake, charge air, coolant and thermostat lines — to a single packing list. Here the turbo and intercooler hose is ordered against 13717609811 and travels with the rest of the BMW branch.

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. They judge 13717609811 on one thing: whether it matches the part that came off.
• Online parts sellers — listing by OEM reference, where a mismatched number turns into a return and a negative rating. They order 13717609811 by the carton and reorder against the same number.
• Fleet and bus operators — running BMW vehicles past warranty and buying cooling-system parts by the box to keep downtime short. They judge 13717609811 on one thing: whether it matches the part that came off.

Problems It Solves

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 BMW buyers it is the difference between a stocked line and a credit note on 13717609811.

Unclear compound

PA66 mouldings crack rather than weep, so a hairline split can empty a coolant system quickly once it opens. That is why 13717609811 carries its full cross-reference set on this page.

Reference mismatch

Visually identical parts carry different connector geometry between model years. Quoting OEM 13717609811 and 13717588268 fixes the identity before money moves. For BMW buyers it is the difference between a stocked line and a credit note on 13717609811.

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.

Comparison With the Alternatives

Use Guide

1. Confirm the reference

   Match OEM 13717609811 and 13717588268 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 13717609811 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.
