FAQs
Is this brake hose compatible with all Renault cars?
No, it is compatible with specific models only. You must use a make/model lookup tool to verify if the BFH5173 fits your vehicle.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will need a flare nut wrench, jack stands, a brake bleeding kit, and fresh brake fluid compatible with your vehicle.
Should I replace both hoses at once?
It is generally recommended to replace brake hoses in pairs (left and right) to ensure balanced braking performance.
What is the primary function of this part?
It acts as a flexible conduit to transfer hydraulic fluid to the front calipers while allowing for the movement of the steering and suspension.
How often should I inspect my brake hoses?
Inspect them during every routine service or tire rotation for signs of cracking, bulging, or fluid leakage.
Troubleshooting
Spongy brake pedal after installation
This is typically caused by air in the brake lines. Perform a thorough brake bleed to ensure all air is expelled from the system.
Fluid leaking at the fitting connection
Check that the threads are properly aligned and torqued to manufacturer specifications. Ensure the sealing washers are clean and undamaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure the vehicle is safely supported on jack stands and the wheels are removed. Always verify the part number BFH5173 against your vehicle's service manual or a certified lookup tool to ensure it matches your specific Renault model. During installation, use a flare nut wrench to prevent rounding the hose fittings. Once the hose is physically mounted, it is mandatory to perform a full brake fluid flush and bleed the system to remove any trapped air pockets, which could otherwise lead to a 'spongy' brake pedal. Inspect the hose periodically for signs of dry rot, bulging, or external fluid seepage during routine oil changes.
