Review on Power Steering Return Line/Hose (Cooler to Reservoir) for BMW E46 320 323 325 328 330i Ci - Part Number: 32411094951 32416796390 by Gregory Sirgio

I would like to warn everyone not to purchase this particular item. The first hose I bought leaked at the junction (pictured below) all over my garage overnight. I received a replacement hose and went to install it, after which the hose easily detached from the coupler. (Photo below) When attempting to remove the hose, the swivel boot coupler WILL NOT RELEASE the retainers inside as the plastic is not stiff enough, Photo 3, as shown on a new hose. The swivel clip simply deforms around the retaining ring. After several hours of work, remove the headlight and cut through the sleeve. I won't take any chances if I can't remove it with a replacement. I will be returning the replacement hose plus the original hose. I want to emphasize in capital letters and writing 60 DO NOT BUY. I bought a Rein PSH0107R hose and it performed like a champ. No problem. I give credit to the seller for going to see if he can fix the problem. They think maybe I bought the wrong part. Even if it was. That doesn't explain the leaking hose from the coupler and the fact that the clamps inside it didn't come loose when I squeezed the swivel clamp when it wasn't installed on the vehicle.
