I need to replace my radiator hose as I just found that the ac pulley has been rubbing against it and has almost done completely through.


My question is: After it has cooled for some hours, is there still coolant in that line?


I just want to be prepared if when replacing it


Thanks

 

Looks like I should have asked this question in the OEM section, sorry still new here

 

Yes, if the system is filled properly, there will still be coolant in that hose.

You can either drain some coolant from the radiator and bring down the over-all level of coolant in the system (that hose is up pretty high), or put some plastic over your belts/pullies and just pull the hose, with something underneath to catch as much as you can. In any case, expect some coolant to come out of that hose when it is pulled off.

 

When was the last time you flushed the cooling system? Now is a great time to do that.

A no-spill funnel makes the fill/bleed job much easier.

 

x2 This!

 

Thank you... much appreciated
