You probably already knew this, but a leaking hose is always a bad sign. And when that happens, it’s time to replace the hose. Wear and tear on the hose can cause the rubber to wear down, grow brittle, crack, or even rip. Radiator hoses are made of a highly durable rubber, but if you’ve ever had a garden, you know that a hose doesn’t last forever. Together, the two radiator hoses allow the cooling system to work properly, with the coolant flowing back and forth happily. The lower radiator hose carries the coolant back to the motor. It takes all that coolant that’s removed heat from the engine and feeds it to the radiator to get cooled down.
The upper radiator hose serves to clamp the motor together with the radiator. That’s where the radiator hoses come in, and your cooling system has two of them. Cooled down and ready to go, the coolant returns to the motor to absorb more heat, and the process goes around and around. The coolant then floats on down to radiator town, where the radiator cools down the liquid. The coolant – that’s a liquid, if you’re new here – flows around the hot parts of your vehicle, absorbing heat, so the motor doesn’t overheat. Simple enough, right? It uses coolant to do so. Your engine needs to cool down to keep from overheating and making a mess of things. So, let’s dive into the cooling system, which is where your radiator and radiator hoses live. It uses the radiator hoses to help cool down, so it can keep going. Well, your engine essentially does the same. That’s them actually cooling down, so their bodies can continue performing at a high level. Have you ever noticed while watching a game that athletes look like they’re literally letting out steam? That’s not just them trying to look macho.
