5.Disconnect upper radiator hose and position out of the way. 6.Disconnect the lower radiator hose from the water inlet connection (8K528) . 7.Remove the two retaining bolts. Remove the water inlet connection . 8.Remove the O-ring seal and water thermostat
If a radiator hose can be squeezed, it only means there isn’t pressure in the cooling system, but this can indie a problem. Cooling systems are designed to hold pressure. This raises the boiling point of the coolant so it can run above 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
If it does exceed this pressure, it will release pressure into the overflow tank. When the engine is cold, the thermostat is closed, not allowing coolant to flow through the upper radiator hose. Once the engine warms up, the thermostat opens, allowing coolant to pass through the hose at a high rate.
2015/11/3· Before I fixed it, my leak was a small drip in the lower radiator hose. As an experiment, I tried the loose cap approach, and I lost far more coolant from under the loose cap than I did from my hose leak. With the no-pressure cap on the right, I lost no coolant at

2006/11/2· line pressure is low in Neutral and Drive - but it spikes to around 150-200 PSI when you shift into Reverse, and can blow cooler hoses that aren''t made to handle that much pressure. Even at 150 PSI with 1/4" hose the hose fittings don''t have to be too special
2013/5/5· Just got this car, 1995 VR4 175,000 miles. The previous two weeks I noticed the car had zero pressure in the upper radiator hose and that it was bubbling in the overflow tank with no overheating. Tonight on the interstate I noticed it was in the red zone so I
2018/5/11· Whether it’s an upper radiator or a lower radiator hose problem, both need to be detected and fixed as soon as possible. If failed to do so, it can affect the working of the car’s cooling system. So, let’s discover the potential reasons responsible for the cold air coming out of the lower radiator hose …
2006/12/3· Hi, This past summer I installed a new radiator into my 92 Civic. After filling up and bleeding the cooling system I noticed that my upper and lower radiator hoses felt like they were under more pressure than they had ever felt before the new radiator. This concerned

If there is no pressure you could be low on radiator fluid (water/anti freeze mixed) or have a thermostat stuck open. Where is the thermostat housing on a 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
When coolant near boiling passes through worn old radiator hoses, it increases the pressure in the radiator and in the hoses that connect it to the engine. Radiator hoses are designed to handle a specific amount of pressure; if that pressure increases to an excessive level, the hose …
2010/7/9· the radiator cap should be keeping the pressure in the system in check. other than the cap not keeping pressure down, and letting it go high, the clamping of the hose …
If it does exceed this pressure, it will release pressure into the overflow tank. When the engine is cold, the thermostat is closed, not allowing coolant to flow through the upper radiator hose. Once the engine warms up, the thermostat opens, allowing coolant to pass through the hose at a high rate.
2015/11/28· While under the highest pressure a little coolant is forced from the radiator lower hose junction despite being tightly done up with a jubilee clip. (there’s a LOT of Pressure built up to be sure) The top hose gets nice and hot as it should do, but the radiator itself stays cold all over, so it seems obvious that the coolant isn’t circulating as it should.
2014/10/16· When I popped hood coolant level is slightly low (after getting filled yesterday) no leaks present and the upper radiator hose isn''t rock hard but isn''t soft either. I can get some squeeze on it but definitely not able to like collapse the hose.
Learn how to diagnose a bad radiator hose visually, and by feel. Also learn how to replace the upper and lower radiator hoses. Most radiator hoses will last
2020/10/2· The upper and lower radiator hoses are used to circulate the coolant to the radiator and the engine. If the lower hose receives low coolant – due to the buildup of radiator sludge – you may experience a cold lower radiator hose. 3. Hose water leaks Make a close
2010/2/18· upper radiator hose sucks itself flat. To fix this, I found a hose that contained a spring in it, The upper has pressure in it from the being on the push side of the pump and more pressure from hot water. Never have understood how it collapses. I''ve seen it.
2010/7/9· the radiator cap should be keeping the pressure in the system in check. other than the cap not keeping pressure down, and letting it go high, the clamping of the hose …
2007/2/7· It''s 180* thermostat. I''m sure that after running for 10 minutes, showing over halfway on the temp gauge, and having an upper radiator hose HOT that the thermostat would open, regardless I don''t believe that that was the problem due to the situation I described where
