What is radiator bottom hose replacement?
A leaking bottom hose is replaced to keep coolant in and the engine cool.
The bottom hose returns cooled coolant to the engine. It can perish, crack or leak at the clamps.
Signs you need it
- Coolant drip under the engine
- Low coolant
- Hose cracked or collapsed
How it works
- Drain coolant
- Replace hose and clamps
- Refill and bleed
- Leak test
You can choose a workshop visit or have a professional come to your home, work or depot.
