Troubleshooting
Coolant leak from hose connection
Ensure hose is fully seated on the fitting and that clamps are tightened securely but not excessively. Inspect hose for any cracks or damage at the connection point.
Cabin heating system not working
Verify the heater hose is not kinked or collapsed, restricting coolant flow. Check for air pockets in the cooling system that may need bleeding.
Hose appears swollen or soft
This may indicate incompatibility with the coolant type or exposure to excessive heat. Replace the hose and ensure the correct coolant is used. Consider checking engine operating temperatures.
