Popular Questions Asked
What are the signs your coolant hoses need replacing?
Whilst your upper radiator hose and lower radiator hose are the most prominent in your engine bay, any coolant hose may need replacement over time. Your radiator and hoses play an important role in managing coolant flow. All coolant hoses play an important part in your cooling system and can become perished, worn out and brittle over time. It is important to do regular checks of your engine bay to ensure you prevent these issues, however, this can be difficult at times due to their location in your engine bay.
If you notice any of the below symptoms, it is important to get a replacement coolant hose to ensure no further damage is caused to other components within your engine.
- Engine overheating - this is an indication that something within your cooling system isn't working properly and needs attention. Having a worn-out radiator hose that is causing coolant leaks can lead to overheating. If you notice your car is overheating, it is worthwhile inspecting your engine and seeing if you can locate the cause of the overheating.
- Low coolant levels - you will notice via the coolant light on your car or alternatively via looking at the coolant reservoir. A variety of reasons can cause this, however, it is usually caused by a leak within the system, such as your radiator hoses. If you notice low levels of coolant, it is important to work out which hose it is coming from and replace it, it might be worthwhile to replace both radiator hoses simultaneously.
- Coolant fluid leaks - this goes hand in hand with low coolant levels if you see a puddle of coolant where you park or smell coolant while driving. This indicates that there is coolant leaking from your system, it may be small, to begin with, but holes can grow rapidly. If you notice this examine your cooling system and find a replacement hose for your vehicle if that is the root of the cause.
- Spongy and swollen radiator hoses - cars should be checked and serviced regularly to ensure your vehicles are running at their full capacity. During your regular checks, if you notice your radiator hoses being spongy or swollen, it indicates they could bust when you are driving your vehicle. This is due to the hoses being brittle and old, therefore, if you notice this, it is best to replace your hoses as soon as possible.
Besides all the above symptoms, the most common cause of a failed radiator hose is electrochemical degradation (ECD), which is caused by a chemical reaction that makes the coolant within the hose attack the hose which therefore weekends the hose which is why you can get holes and cracks within your radiator hoses.
