Upper radiator hose connector at the water pump side wore and broke off. All hoses are still good. Question is can I buy just the plastic connector? If so where? No matter how I look it up I find the entire hose assembly for upwards of 75 dollars (with quick connect). Surely the connect alone should be around 15 bucks. Any ideas where to look? ---

It’s a BMW 7 series; for that car 75 bucks is petty cash. ---

I mean yeah, but I dont like to spend more than necessary. It’s just a daily to work. My baby is my 2018 sierra Denali. I dont even like cars. Anyway can I buy the connector separately? ---

I wouldn’t know, but the best place to find out is probably the parts counter at the BMW dealer. ---

For them the OEM part is not sold separately. Whole hose assembly 190. Makes little sense since the hose is just on with a regular hose clamp. ---
