- 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 ensure your vehicle doesn't overheat. And the cooling system depends on a working, quality Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) to work like it should. As the coolant in your Nissan goes through the radiator and coolant system to you vehicle's engine, it travels through a Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower). It's essential that the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) remain free from leaks, cracks, or bloating that could cause more damage to your Nissan.
Eventually, the rubber in your vehicle's Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) can wear out. When this happens, the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) can become brittle and crack, causing coolant to leak out. If too much coolant leaks out, the engine might not receive enough coolant to control the engine's temperature, potentially causing your Nissan to overheat. If overheating occurs, it could lead to repairs and damage your vehicle.
Also, the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) can get bloated, which means the hose swells up. An overheating engine due to 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 a Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) on your Nissan needs to be exchanged, a great place to start is a visual inspection. When working with the coolant system, always ensure the coolant system and engine are completely cooled down, as the cooling system is pressurized, and super hot coolant may spray if the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) breaks.
When looking at the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower), look for dry-rot, cracks, swelling, or warping. Look for coolant leaks on the ground underneath the vehicle, specifically where the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) attaches to the vehicle.
Additionally, look on your dashboard if you think your Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) is bad. Check to see if the Low Coolant light is on or if the temperature gauge is showing the engine running too hot. Your owner's manual gives an overview of your vehicle's dashboard lights and what they mean.
