 Anyone have an idea as to why my radiator hose is expanding like this? I just recently had a coolant flush done by Toyota, as well as a water pump and timing belt. Now today I noticed my temperature gauge was just barely above half, so I looked under the hood and noticed that this hose was slightly expanded. Could it be that I need a new thermostat? -Matt |
