- Important part of cooling system
- The hose coolant travels through to get between the radiator and engine
- Replace when cracked or leaking
Your Nissan's cooling system is designed to keep the vehicle from overheating. And your vehicle's cooling system relies on a functioning, quality Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) to work like it should. As your vehicle's coolant fluid travels through the coolant system and radiator to you vehicle's engine, it passes through a Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower). It's crucial that your Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) is free from cracks, bloating, or leaks that may cause further damage to your vehicle.
Over time, the rubber that makes your vehicle's Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) can wear out. If this happens, your Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) can get brittle and crack, allowing coolant to leak out. If enough coolant leaks out, the engine might not receive enough coolant to control the engine's temperature, which may cause overheating in your Nissan. If overheating occurs, it could lead to additional repairs and even damage to the vehicle.
Also, the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) may bloat, which means the hose swells up. An engine overheating from low coolant can cause superheated coolant to pass through the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower), making the rubber in the hose bloat and swell, potentially causing further cracks and damage to your vehicle's Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower).
If you think the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) on your vehicle needs to be replaced, a visual inspection is often a good place to start. When working with the coolant system, always ensure the coolant system and engine are cooled down completely, as the cooling system is under pressure, and heated coolant can spray if the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) breaks.
When checking out the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower), look for swelling, cracks, dry-rot, and warping. Look for coolant leaks on the ground underneath the vehicle, specifically where the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) attaches to the vehicle.
In addition, look on your dashboard if you think your Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) is bad. Look for a Low Coolant light or if the temperature gauge is displaying that your engine is running hot. Your owner's manual gives an overview of dashboard lights and their meanings.
