The Basics Behind Heater Hose Replacement Services
The heater hoses on a vehicle carry engine coolant from the engine to the heater core. There are one outlet and one inlet hose. All hoses for engine cooling systems work the same. The hose is pressed at both ends onto a connector, with either a clamp or an O-ring type seal. These then provide a watertight seal. Hoses on the vehicle are “wear and tear” items. You should expect to replace these items at least once during the life of a vehicle. If the cooling system is not maintained correctly, the heater hoses tend to fail more quickly.
Why Should You Have Heater Hose Replacement Services
Usually, failing heater hose will cause the vehicle to smell like engine coolant under the hood. The inside of the vehicle could also smell of coolant and mildew if coolant has run onto the heater core. The vehicle’s engine could begin running warmer, and a defective or failing hose could swell and burst. Worst case the engine starts overheating and a cylinder head gasket fail. It’s not advised to continue driving a vehicle with a failing heater hose. Replacement is necessary when there is an engine coolant leak or swelling. A replacement will also be recommended if the hose is cracked or worn down.
