- 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 this cooling system relies on a working, quality Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) to work correctly. As your vehicle's coolant fluid goes through the radiator and coolant system to you vehicle's engine, it travels through a Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower). It's important your Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) is free from damage, leaks, cracks, or bloating that could cause more damage to your Nissan.
Eventually, the rubber in your Nissan's Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) can wear out. When this occurs, 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 could cause your Nissan to overheat. If the engine overheats, it may lead to added repairs and further damage to 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, which can make the rubber swell and bloat, possibly causing additional cracks and damage to the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower).
If you believe the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower) on your vehicle needs to be exchanged, it's good to start with a visual inspection. When dealing with the coolant system, always make sure the engine and coolant system are cooled down completely, as the cooling system is pressurized, and heated coolant can spray if something happens to the Radiator Coolant Hose (Lower).
When inspecting your 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.
In addition, 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 displaying that your engine is running hot. Your Nissan owner's manual has an overview of the different dashboard lights and their meanings.
