- Important part of cooling system
- The hose coolant travels through to get between the radiator and engine
- Replace when cracked or leaking
Your Nissan depends on its cooling system to prevent the engine from overheating. And the cooling system depends on a working, quality Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) to operate how it's supposed to. As your vehicle's coolant fluid travels through the coolant system and radiator to the engine, it travels through a Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower). It's important your Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) is free from leaks, cracks, or bloating that could cause more damage to your Nissan.
Eventually, the rubber that makes up your vehicle's Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) can wear out. When this occurs, the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) can become brittle and crack, causing coolant to leak out. If an excess amount of coolant leaks out, the engine might not receive enough coolant to keep the engine temperature under control, potentially causing your Nissan to overheat. An overheated engine could lead to additional repairs and even damage to the vehicle.
Also, your Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) can become bloated, which means the hose swells up. An engine overheating from low coolant can cause superheated coolant to pass through the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower), which can make the rubber swell and bloat, likely causing additional damage and cracks to your Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower).
If you think the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) on your vehicle needs to be exchanged, a great place to start is a visual inspection. When working with the coolant system, always ensure the vehicle's engine and coolant system are cooled down completely, as the cooling system is under pressure, and super hot coolant may spray if the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) becomes compromised.
When inspecting your 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. Check if the Low Coolant light is illuminated or if the temperature gauge is in the red, meaning your engine is running too hot. Your Nissan owner's manual has an overview of your vehicle's dashboard lights and what they mean.
