the brake masters who did my brakes had told me there was swollen hoses and the radiator was not right. and start of leak at upper hose
I took it back to aaa owned repair shop because it was under warranty and told them that those hoses and radiator were bad
they said no the hoses were fine
guess who did not change the hoses
that’s twice they did not change the hoses
And twice they have screwed up a radiator job in the span of the same year. the first time they cost themselves $1000. fired that guy. they must’ve hired his cousin.
The lower hose clamp was so tight it cut into the swollen deteriorated hose. that is as far as we have gotten. but it was spewing all the fluid out there at the cut. onto fan.
the actually qualified mechanic sent me a video of that
After the actually qualified mechanic gets a hose he is going to continue looking to see what all else is going on
I don’t know what is causing your problems, but if you know your hoses are over 8 years old, then they should be replaced, all of them, including the heater hoses which are often overlooked.
They may not be the source of your problems, but when one fails, the others soon follow, and each time one fails, you loose all that expensive coolant you just bought and you run the risk of lowing a head gasket. Best to just replace them and the radiator cap. But also find out from someone who has eyes on the car what is causing your current issues and get that fixed as well. Then you should be good for at least 5 years with no cooling system issues.
