Radiator Hose Replacement

How are radiator hose issues diagnosed?

The hoses can be visually inspected for leakage, cracking, or swelling. A pressure test may also be performed to ensure the system is sealed. The technician will also physically check the hoses for feel, an overly soft hose is often contaminated with oil and more likely to fail.

How is a radiator hose replaced?

The technician will drain the cooling system as necessary and remove the hose. An inspection of the radiator neck or thermostat housing it is attached to will be performed. The new hose will be installed with new hose clamps before the system is refilled with fresh coolant, bled of any air, and checked for leaks.

RepairPal Recommendations for radiator hose issues

Hoses will often be stuck to their attachment points. When removing them from thermostat housings and radiators, it is important to take care not to apply too much force as it can damage plastic fittings on otherwise fine components. To prevent cracking plastic attachment points, there are special pick-like tools that can aide removal.

What to look out for when dealing with radiator hose issues

There are many aftermarket or universal radiator hoses that are cheaper than the OEM hoses or their equivalents. It is important to order the correct, high-quality hose to ensure a longer lasting repair. While more affordable, the cheaper hoses may be of inferior construction, incorrect shape, or missing provisions for the expansion tank and other cooling outlets. Ill fitting and low quality hoses increase the risk of coming off or collapsing, causing overheating and subsequent engine damage. If a hose has to be modified to work, it is the wrong one.

Can I replace the radiator hose myself?

Repairing your own car is an extremely rewarding process that can also save you money. But before you dive in, it’s important to be sure the issue has been properly diagnosed. Seemingly obvious symptoms can lead the inexperienced down a rabbit hole of replacing parts that don’t fix the problem. Proper diagnosis can save more money than guessing at what’s broken! If you're unsure you have the right tools or experience to diagnose a problem, consider reaching out to a RepairPal Certified Shop. The vast majority of radiator hoses only require simple tools to replace. However, the procedures vary wildly from car to car. Before ordering parts or attempting this repair yourself, look online for guides on how to replace the radiator hoses in your specific vehicle. On some cars, removal of the front bumper or special tools to release hose clamps in tight places may be required. Some vehicles also require special cooling system filling and bleeding procedures.
