Gates 18-21 BMW X3 4-Cyl. 2.0L Valve Cover To Intake Tube Emission Control Hose

This emission control hose from Gates is made from a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound, which is crucial for handling the temperatures found in the engine bay. It connects the valve cover to the intake tube, playing a role in managing crankcase vapors and emissions. Ensuring this hose is in good condition is important for proper engine operation and meeting emissions standards.

Gates uses a well-built EPDM rubber for this hose, known for its ability to withstand oil and heat exposure without degrading. This means it should hold up well over time, resisting cracks and leaks that could cause performance issues or trigger a check engine light. It’s designed to fit directly onto your 2018-2021 BMW X3 with the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, making replacement straightforward.
