radiator hose contracted on 103.983
 
Hello,

I noticed today that my right ride radiator hose is caved in in a few spots, should I replace the hose and put on a new hose clamp? Thanks

Don't think so...it seems the vacuum check valve in the radiator cap is not opening as the engine cools down...this causes a partial vacuum and the hose/s collapse.

I presume you noticed this when the engine is cold.?

yes
 
I did notice this as the engine was cold however should I check this radiator cap?

Thanks
