Coolant Hose Questions
2018 jeep compass latitude- ~ 130,000 miles
So last night I was driving on the highway and I hit a pot hole, shortly after I noticed my temp gauge climbing quickly. I was notified of high temps on the dash as I was coming to a stop on the side of the road.
When I opened the hood I saw this hose (where the zip ties are now) was fully disconnected and coolant was everywhere. The flat hose clamp had slid down near the netting piece.
After fighting with the clamp and burning myself a few times, I was able to get the hose back on and get the clamp tight enough for me to refill the reservoir and make it home.
I took the clamp off this morning and put some zip ties on it to just keep the hose in place and I will be going to an auto store to get a new clamp today.
My question is, will a new clamp be enough or should I bring it on and get everything replaced?
I’m right at 130k miles on the thing.
Thanks for the advice.
