    Where can I buy this fitting and hose assembly because for my 328i this area was the source of the leak. I opened this hose and the fitting was damaged. So it needs to be replaced.

    Thanks

    No you don’t have to– I just did mine during my lunch break. the hose will have coolant so I put a paper coffee cup underneath and emptied enough out of the hose to put it in place again. top up coolant and bleed w/ water pump procedure after.

    Do you have to drain your coolant before changing this fitting

    On what part of the coolant outlet? Is this the original manufactures’ outlet? If so, most original ones are made with a composite plastic resin with two small metal eyelets where the 10mm bolts go to mount the fitting, so it tends to brake down into an almost wood like substance when exposed to extremely high temps over time. In this situation I don’t believe the engine or transmission would be a major concern if a piece broke off, other than the possibility of a coolant leak and overheating. But if your fitting does happen to be metal then I would say an immediate flush of the system would need to be performed. Hope this offers any useful information to you. Best of luck and Happy Trails!
