- 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 keep the vehicle from overheating. And this cooling system relies on a working, quality Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) to work like it should. As the coolant fluid in your Nissan passes through the radiator and coolant system to the engine, it passes through a Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower). It's important your Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) is free from cracks, bloating, or leaks that may cause further damage to your vehicle.
In time, the rubber in the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) on your Nissan can get worn out. When this happens, the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) may become brittle and crack, causing a coolant leak. If enough coolant leaks out, your vehicle's engine may not receive enough coolant to keep the engine temperature under control, which may cause overheating in your Nissan. An overheated engine could lead to repairs and damage your vehicle.
In addition, the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) can get bloated, meaning the hose swells. An engine overheating from low coolant could cause intensely heated coolant to pass through the hose, making the rubber in the hose bloat and swell, possibly causing additional cracks and damage to your Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower).
If you think a Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) on your Nissan needs to be exchanged, a visual inspection is often a good place to start. When dealing with the coolant system, always ensure the coolant system and engine are completely cooled down, as the cooling system is under pressure, and heated coolant can spray if the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) becomes compromised.
When inspecting your Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower), look for cracks, warping, dry-rotted areas, and swelling. Check for coolant fluid leaks underneath the vehicle, especially where your Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) is attached to the vehicle.
In addition, check the dashboard if you feel you have a bad Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower). Check to see if the Low Coolant light is on or if the temperature gauge is displaying that your engine is running hot. Your owner's manual gives an overview of the different dashboard lights and their meanings.
