Radiator Hose Replacement

What is the Radiator Hose all about?

Radiator/cooling system hoses are an important part of your carā€™s cooling system, which is designed to keep the engine from overheating. When your carā€™s engine is running it creates heat. The radiator/cooling system hoses carry coolant through the radiator and back through the engine to keep it operating at an optimal temperature. There are multiple hoses in a given system. An upper hose connects the top of the radiator to the top of the engine. A lower hose connects the bottom of the radiator to the water pump of the engine, which keeps coolant flowing through the system.

Keep in mind:

If a radiator/cooling system hose bursts or leaks, the engine will not get the proper amount of coolant and will overheat, possibly causing severe damage. The hoses are made of rubber, so It is common for them to crack and weaken over time and because of the high temperature in the engine compartment.

How itā€™s done:

  • Pressure check cooling system for leaks.
  • Remove and replace the hose that is leaking or blown.
  • Fill the radiator with the proper mixture of 50/50 coolant.
  • Bleed the cooling system.
  • Re-check for any leaks.

Our recommendation:

It is a good idea to replace the hoses every 5 years or 60,000 kilometres. If you see coolant (red, yellow or green fluid) on your driveway get the car inspected for leaks. If you suspect a leak, do not delay the repair. Driving with leaking hoses can cause severe damage to the engine.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Radiator Hose?

  • AC or heater is not working well.
  • The coolant is leaking.
  • Steam coming out of the engine compartment.
  • Bulges or cracks in radiator hose(s)

How important is this service?

It is important to replace worn or leaking hoses as preventative maintenance to prevent future failure of these hoses where they may burst, causing engine overheating.

Great Service from Dee

Dear Fixr Team,

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional service I received from Dee, one of your customer agents.

Deeā€™s professionalism and quick response time were outstanding. He provided detailed quotes promptly, answered all my questions with clarity, and ensured I felt confident about the process. His excellent customer service turned what initially felt like a risky decision into a completely positive experience.

To be honest, I was hesitant about using the website at first, unsure if it was legitimate or a ****. However, thanks to Deeā€™s assistance and Fixrā€™s reliable service, I am thoroughly impressed. Itā€™s refreshing to see a platform that truly delivers on its promises.

Thank you for the incredible support. I will gladly recommend Fixr to others and will not hesitate to use your services again in the future.
