How Much Do Radiator Hoses Cost to Replace?
Perished radiator hoses cause coolant leaks and overheating. A Cranbourne West specialist explains the cost.
What drives the cost
Hose cost is usually modest — the hoses themselves and coolant, plus the labour to fit and bleed the system. Some cars have awkwardly-routed hoses or moulded sections that cost more. It’s cheap insurance against a roadside overheat.
Often only the failed hose needs doing, though doing aged hoses together can be sensible.
What the job involves
We pressure-test to confirm the leaking hose, replace it (and any other perished ones), refill with the correct coolant and bleed the system.
