Top Radiator Hose forms the upper connection of the engine cooling circuit, carrying heated coolant from the thermostat housing outlet to the radiator top inlet.

Moulded to the routing required on V8 petrol installations equipped with air conditioning, where the condenser and its pipework reduce the clearance available across the front of the engine bay. The corresponding top hose for installations without air conditioning is NTC5686 - the two are not interchangeable.

Reinforced moulded rubber construction, shaped to hold its bend radius without collapsing under pump suction.
Vehicle Model Land Rover Defender up to 2016

Frequently asked questions

What is the NTC5687 top radiator hose used for?
The NTC5687 top radiator hose forms the upper connection of the cooling circuit, carrying heated coolant from the thermostat housing outlet to the radiator top inlet. It's moulded for V8 petrol installations fitted with air conditioning.
What's the difference between NTC5687 and NTC5686?
NTC5687 is the top hose for V8 installations with air conditioning, where the condenser and its pipework reduce clearance across the front of the engine bay. NTC5686 is the top hose for installations without air conditioning. The two are not interchangeable.
Which vehicles does this top hose fit?
It fits the Defender 1986-2006 V8 petrol with air conditioning, from VIN FA429128. Confirm your vehicle has factory air conditioning and matches the VIN break, since the non-air-conditioning hose is a different part.
How do I know the top radiator hose needs replacing?
A radiator hose that's softening, ballooning under pressure or perishing at the end fittings is due for renewal. The moulded rubber holds its bend without collapsing under pump suction when sound, so a collapsing or weeping hose signals replacement.
