minus-squareDukeOfAlexandria@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoIt can be if it’s a hot day and the cap has opened up the expansion plug for extended amount of time. Meh, they can try the tap and screw method, but these radiators (even OEM) are cheap as hell.
minus-squarejamie1234444@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoWhere’s the pressure? It’s an overflow hose. You realise older cars just dumped this hose to the ground right? Op could literally run his car as it is, broken like that so long as they check their coolant levels regularly. I’m guessing you’re assuming this hose goes to a pressure reservoir? The water trickles through the hose at best.
