PROCEDURE
  1. Are all radiator, engine or heater fan water hoses sealed? Leaks can be easily identified by white deposits around leaks.
  2. Replace stiff, brittle or cracked hoses immediately. Check their technical condition by visual inspection or, best of all, by massaging the hoses.


    Pressing down: Apply sufficient pressure to the heated coolant hose. This is the only way to identify possible cracks or other defects.
  3. What do we have at the ends of the hoses? – do they sit tightly on their nozzles?
  4. Are all hose clamps tight? If not, while driving and with a hot engine, they can break off the connecting pipes. It is best to replace corroded hose clamps immediately.
