Description
The Mishimoto MMHOSE-500T-12RD is a red silicone radiator hose kit purpose-built to replace the degradation-prone rubber hoses on the Fiat 500’s compact 1.4L turbocharged engine. Built from five layers of silicone reinforced with heat-resistant embedded fibers, this hose set is engineered to handle the heat and pressure that stock rubber hoses struggle to survive over time. As a Performance-grade, vehicle-specific cooling upgrade, it swaps in for the factory upper and lower radiator hoses without compromise.
Cooling system reliability matters just as much on spirited street drives as it does on track days, and this Mishimoto silicone radiator hose kit is designed to keep coolant flowing consistently through hard cornering and hard acceleration alike. Because it’s molded from silicone rather than rubber, it resists the cracking, softening, and collapsing that eventually plague OEM hoses, giving your Fiat’s cooling system a more durable, higher-tolerance upgrade. The red finish also lets you add a splash of color to the engine bay while you’re at it, and every kit ships with the hardware needed to get it installed.
