The radiator needs to be replaced Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: upper rad hose cam off at stoplight, temp hit red, aaron, Sun, 19 Dec 2004 19:37:43 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The plastic pipe that hose is attached to have broken off and left only a 1/2" remains.
And as a lot of times the former owner didn't feel for repairing the car the right way and just put the hose back on the little pipe that was left.
You are probably fine with the brief over heating but you also don't know if it has happen before, so until everything is back together with a new radiator and you have driven it for awhile can you be sure. And it still may have shorten the life span of the head gasket.
