1. Drain the coolant from the system.
2. Loosen the hose clamps. On the clamp clamps, unscrew the clamping screws, and on the spring clamps, squeeze the leashes with pliers.
3. Disconnect the hoses. If the clamps are tight, loosen them using a screwdriver, carefully pushing it between the clamp and the hose.
4. Put on the new hoses so that the fittings sit deep enough in them and the hoses do not slip off.
5. Tighten the mounting clamps.
Note! A burst cooling system hose can only be replaced immediately in rare cases. Usually the required hose is not in stock. As a temporary aid, you can use the so-called bandage tape, which sticks well to a dry and clean hose and holds. If the hole in the hose is relatively large, you can unscrew the cap on the expansion tank by one turn to relieve the pressure in the system, because the tape will not withstand it. After this, you should, being careful and monitoring the instruments, move to the nearest workshop.
