Common Air Brake Hose Problems to Watch For
Your car, its engine temperature rises. That’s normal. But if the temperature climbs too high, that’s a problem.
Internal combustion engines work best at around 93℃. If they overheat, high-speed metal parts can melt together. This often leads to engine failure.
Thankfully, most modern cars have advanced cooling systems to prevent this. These systems use coolant (also called antifreeze) to keep engines cool. They also include key parts like a water pump, engine coolant hoses, a thermostat, and a fan. The oil cooler hose is another critical component—often overlooked but vital for regulating temperature.
Any issue with these parts can cause overheating or stalling. Common culprits include low coolant, a burst flexible coolant hose, a cracked radiator hose, or a failing oil cooler hose.
Why Summer Puts Extra Stress on Oil Cooler Hoses
Summer is tough on your car’s cooling system. High temperatures and traffic jams block airflow to the engine. This makes engine temperatures spike.
A well-maintained cooling system can handle long idling in hot weather. But small problems—like low coolant, a broken fan belt, or a leaky oil cooler hose—will make temperatures rise fast.
