It is always helpful if you provide MY and other vehicle details when seeking assistance.

Norma is a company that supplies quick connect/release ends for many companies. You can purchase the end by itself and try replacing it if you want to be frugal. Look on eBay for Norma PA6 GF50. But I will assume you want the whole hose to replace?
Without a larger pic of the area you are speaking of I hope this helps you locate the piece you need?

That should work provided you don't bugger the fitting or pipe while removing.

Hi
I fix the problem today. Change the thermostat and cut the hose rapid connector. It was impossible to change the o ring, i put the hose direct in to the pipe using a hose clip
Best regards
