These hoses carry coolant – that’s the stuff that keeps your engine from overheating – between the engine itself and the radiator. They’re basically the pathways for that fluid to circulate, maintaining a consistent temperature. They also handle pressure from the cooling system, so they need to be pretty durable. Some hoses carry coolant to the heater core too, so you get heat inside the car. Think of them as the veins and arteries of your engine’s cooling system. The coolant starts at the engine, travels through these hoses to the radiator to cool down, and then goes back to the engine. It’s a continuous loop. Without good hoses, the whole system just stops working effectively. They connect things like the radiator to the engine, the water pump to the thermostat housing, and so on. Well, if a hose fails, you’ll likely overheat, and that can cause some really serious engine damage. It’s not something you want to mess around with. You’ll notice if a hose is starting to go bad—look for cracks, bulges, or leaks. Sometimes they just get soft and spongy. Replacing a failing hose is a lot cheaper than replacing an engine! You can find a good selection of these at places like Fixparts Online, and honestly, preventative maintenance here is smart. A small investment in a new hose can save you a ton of money and headache down the road. Highly recommended: Hose (MPN 059121058K) comes with a 12-month warranty!
