Expansion Tank Hose O-Rings and Flanges

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Hello,

New here, and haven't been able to quite find a thread that answers this. I'm hoping for some expert guidance.

I recently replaced the Coolant Expansion Tank. Newbie on the Z4 here, and I didn't watch very closely at the organization of the flanges and O-Rings as I removed the hoses from the old.

Now that I've assembled again, I've got a leak (presumably) where the hoses connect to the top of the tank and radiator.

I think that likely I've messed up the equipment that is on the inside of the hoses inside of the clip. It seems like there should be a hard flange (opening to the two male connections on the tank and radiator), and that there should be an O-ring between the flange and the rest of the hose.

Is this right?

The part I'm talking about is included in the attached photo.

Thanks for your help!

If you car has the M54 engine the Z4 might have components similar to the E46. See:

You can put the BMW part number into realoem.com & see what other models use the same part.
