Internal combustion engines like the ones that power most cars generate tremendous amounts of heat. Car radiators play an important role in dissipating the heat created by the engine in order to keep the thermal energy from damaging any of the engine components. Most automotive radiators work by circulating a liquid coolant, typically water-based, through the hot engine housing. Friction in the engine compartment creates a lot of heat that must be eliminated, and the radiator is the primary means of heat dispersion. The warm metal of the engine heats the coolant present in the various radiator hoses which then circulates back to the radiator, where the coolant disposes of the heat by radiating it out to the surrounding cold air. Radiators use a variety of radiator hoses to circulate fluids throughout the engine block. The radiator is an essential component in any modern engine, and if a radiator hose begins to leak at any point then the engine may become critically overheated in just a few minutes. Despite the importance of the radiator to the overall functioning of the engine, a radiator hose replacement is not unusually difficult or complex. Replacement radiator hoses are available at most automotive parts stores and are very specific to individual car models. Do not attempt to replace a leaking radiator hose with one designed for a different make or model of vehicle. Once you have the correct replacement hose the total repair time is often less than one hour. Modern radiator hoses have widely variable life expectancies, though they are considered to be much more reliable than previous-generation radiator hoses. Given the value of a fully-functioning radiator and cooling system, it is a good idea to have the radiator inspected every 3 years to ensure that there are no minor leaks or problems with the radiator hoses.

Radiator Hose
Staying cool is a priority when your engine is generating heat at a rate of thousands of times per second. At the highest RPM, a malfunctioning cooling system can cause your engine to crack or melt within minutes due to extreme temperatures. The cooling system even warms you up in the winter by using hot coolant liquid to provide warm air to your passenger cabin. Solve several problems at once by replacing a bad radiator hose.
Your radiator upper and lower hoses are essential to your engine's ability to maintain proper temperatures. They're made out of some of the toughest materials around to resist the various destructive and corrosive forces in your engine's coolant system. They're also reinforced to prevent collapse.

What is a radiator hose?
Modern vehicles have a quite a few hoses in their cooling systems. Two of the most important ones are these radiator upper and lower hoses. They plug directly into your radiator and carry the fluid needed to keep your engine at the right temperature during operation. Here's how they work in context.
Radiator Fluid Movement
- Your radiator pump activates, applying pressure to the system.
- Coolant is pumped through the engine block, where it absorbs heat.
- After the coolant heats up enough, it is diverted to the upper radiator hose.
- Your coolant moves through your radiator, cooling down significantly once it reaches the lower radiator hose.
- The lower hose connects back to your pump, and the cycle continues.
These hoses carry hot liquid under extreme pressures. Because of this, they're made of materials that resist various forces:
- Electrochemical effects
- Heat
- Chemical corrosion
They're also usually spring-lined or otherwise reinforced against unwanted compression and collapse.
Despite the name, the upper hose isn't necessarily above the lower hose. You can tell which is which by examining the parts they connect with, other than the radiator. The lower hose should connect to the pump, while the upper hose connects to a thermostatic valve. That valve is connected to multiple other hoses, so your upper hose might end in a 3-way intersection. Check your maintenance manual for more details if you're having trouble identifying the hoses.
How much is a replacement radiator hose?
If both of your hoses are the same age, it's probably a good idea to replace your radiator upper and lower hoses at the same time. They should cost somewhere between $76-160 each at the manufacturer's suggested list price. Prices vary widely based on the design of your coolant system and the materials used in the hoses.
How do you know when to replace a radiator hose?
There are several symptoms of a bad radiator hose:
- Coolant loss or leaking
- Overheating engine
- Engine temperature or coolant level lights
Start off by looking for coolant around the area around your radiator. Upper and lower radiator hoses should always be free of cracks and leaks. Check around the connections to the hoses for any wet areas, and examine the length of each hose for signs of collapse.

EXACT FIT, GREAT QUALITY .
Our 1997 Jaguar XJ6L needed a radiator hose. The most ridiculous 5-ended hose I've ever seen. You're never as rich as you think you are....until you own a Jaguar. So, I figured megabucks...if I could even find the hose. PartsGeek had it for a great price, sent it quickly, and my mechanic says it is absolutely perfect. Thank you so much!
The hose was perfect and shipped very fast.
