These hoses basically move coolant—that’s the fluid that keeps your engine from overheating—throughout the engine and radiator. They connect things like the radiator to the engine, the water pump to the heater core, and various other points in the system. They're designed to withstand high temperatures and pressure, and they have to be flexible enough to handle engine movement. Think of it as a vital pathway. The coolant absorbs heat from the engine, and the hoses are the roads it travels on to get to the radiator where that heat gets released. Without a good, solid flow of coolant, things heat up really quickly and can cause major damage. You’ll notice if a hose starts to fail – you might see coolant leaking, or the engine could start to run hotter than usual. It's absolutely crucial. If a hose bursts or develops a leak, you lose coolant, and that leads to overheating. Overheating can cause everything from a warped cylinder head to a completely blown engine. A hose acts like a shield against those kinds of problems. They're generally made of reinforced rubber, but over time, the rubber degrades from heat and pressure, so they do need replacing eventually. You can find a good selection of hoses, and everything else you need, over at Fixparts Online, but honestly, any auto parts store will carry them. It’s a relatively inexpensive part to replace, and doing it proactively can save you a lot of money—and a lot of stress—down the road. Better than the rest: Hose (MPN A1022031182) is backed by a 12-month warranty!
