If your car is showing signs of radiator hose or water pump leaks, let the Firestone Complete Auto Care tire and automotive service professionals take a look. Radiator hoses and the water pump are important components of your car's cooling system, and if your radiator hoses and water pump aren't working properly, you risk overheating your engine.
Depending on your car, water pumps typically last between 60,000 and 90,000 miles. Radiator hoses can last up to 100,000 miles. Over time, however, both radiator hoses and water pumps wear out and if they are not replaced when needed, serious damage can occur. A collapsed radiator hose, for example, can quickly ruin an engine.
