Description
The Mishimoto MMHOSE-500T-12BK is a black silicone radiator hose kit purpose-built for the Fiat 500’s compact turbocharged cooling system, replacing the factory rubber upper and lower radiator hoses with a five-layer silicone construction reinforced by heat-resistant embedded fibers. Rated to withstand up to 330°F, this hose kit is engineered to resist the degradation that plagues stock rubber Fiat radiator hoses.
Stock rubber hoses on a Fiat 500 are prone to cracking, softening, and eventual failure from constant heat cycling, especially around the compact turbocharged engine bay. The Mishimoto silicone radiator hose kit addresses this with a Performance-grade, five-layer silicone build designed for improved heat and pressure tolerance over the OEM hoses, helping keep coolant flowing reliably whether you’re commuting, autocrossing, or pushing the car hard on track. Because this is a Specific-fit application rather than a universal cooling hose, every hose is shaped to route cleanly through the Fiat 500 engine bay without the trimming or improvising a universal Mishimoto cooler hose might require.
