Frequently asked questions

What does the PCH503290R radiator hose do?
The PCH503290R hose carries coolant between the radiator and the thermostat housing on the Puma Defender (2007-2016). It's part of the engine cooling circuit, letting the thermostat regulate flow to the radiator as the engine reaches operating temperature.
Which Defenders does this radiator-to-thermostat hose fit?
This radiator-to-thermostat hose fits the Puma Defender (L316) from VIN 7A748566 onwards. Earlier Puma Defenders used a different hose, so the VIN break matters. Check your chassis number is at or after this point before ordering to get the correct fit.
When should this coolant hose be replaced?
Replace this coolant hose if it's cracked, swollen, or weeping around the thermostat housing or clamps on the Puma Defender. The rubber typically hardens with heat cycling over time. A split hose loses coolant fast and risks overheating, so it's worth renewing at the first sign of perishing.
