What is the hose that connects to the thermostat?

upper radiator hose
The upper radiator hose is connected to the thermostat housing and to the radiator. From the bottom of the radiator, is the lower radiator hose that is directed to the water pump. Powered by the vehicle’s water pump, the engine coolant loses its heat after passing through the radiator.

What is the coolant bypass hose for?

The bypass feature allows water to flow around the engine, without passing through the radiator, while the thermostat is shut. Without it, the water will not circulate correctly creating hot spots around the engine which could lead to damage.

What is the radiator hose called?

Belts and Hoses Coolant hoses include the upper radiator hose, lower radiator hose, heater hoses and bypass hose (some engines). Coolant hoses are made of reinforced synthetic rubber made to withstand heat, vibration, pressure, and cooling system chemicals.

What are the 2 different types of radiator hoses?

There are two types of radiator hoses, upper and lower. These parts aren’t interchangeable and come in different lengths and shapes. Connected to the bottom of the radiator and the pump of the engine.

What is a heater hose assembly?

Heater hoses are rubber hoses that circulate engine coolant to and from the heater core, which is the small radiator that provides heat for the cabin. They typically extend from the engine to the firewall, because the core is located inside the vehicle’s dashboard.

Where is the coolant bypass hose?

These pipes, or hoses, are located near the thermostat housing. Follow the upper radiator hose to the entry port on the engine. Usually the thermostat is located inside the engine, in a housing where the upper hose is attached. The bypass hose is below the housing.

Is the radiator hose the same as the coolant hose?

Coolant Hose Coolant hoses come in two flavors – heater hose and radiator hose. They hoses are made the same, but the sizes are real difference.

Where is the upper radiator hose located?

The upper radiator hose runs from the radiator to the motor. You can usually see most of this hose. The lower radiator hose is harder to find. To locate it, get underneath the car and look for a smaller diameter hose leading from the radiator into the heat wall of the car.

Which radiator hose should be hotter?

One way to check for proper coolant circulation is to check the upper and lower radiator hoses. The upper radiator hose should be hot, around 190–200 °F.

Where are the heater core hoses located?

How does the thermostat work on a 4Runner?

The job of your 4Runner’s thermostat is to regulate the temperature of the engine. It does this by allowing water to enter the engine when it is getting hot, and by keeping coolant from entering while the vehicle warms up. Sometimes when a thermostat goes bad, it stays stuck open. This allows the coolant to continuously enter the engine.

Why is my heater not working on my 4Runner?

While not having enough coolant may make your engine run hotter, it can also cause your 4Runner to not be able to create enough heat. Is there isn’t enough line pressure, due to low coolant, then the heater core will not be able to get any coolant itself. You can verify this by checking the coolant level by taking a peek at the overflow reservoir.
