Radiator H ose and C onnection Inspection
○
The high pressure inside the radiator hose can cause
coolant to leak [A] or the hose to burst if the line is not
properly maintained. Visually inspect the hoses for signs

be hard and brittle, nor should it be soft or swollen.
Replace the hose if any fraying, cracks [B] or bulges [C]
are noticed.
•
Check that the hoses are securely c onnected and clamps
are tightened correctly.
