Radiator/overflow tube keeps coming off
Hey guys i'm having this problem where the tube that goes from my radiator to the overflow reservoir keeps getting blown off. This started after I changed my thermostat and one of the hoses had a leak and my car overheated driving home from work.
My car is a 1997 Honda Civic EX
Thanks!

Re: Radiator/overflow tube keeps coming off
Are you saying that you replaced a hose (which one) and the thermostat?
If that is what you are saying, along with your car is overheating and the overflow tube is blowing off, then the problem is most likely either:
1) radiator fan is not functioning properly
2) water pump is weak or totally shot
3) blown head gasket

I don't think a snapping A/C belt would have to do with it.
Your tube is popping off due to extra pressure in the cooling system.
Now... some questions:
1. How does the underside of your oil cap look. ? Is there anything on it? Anything at all?
2. Your radiator fill cap. How does the underside of it look? Is there anything on it? Anything at all?
3. How does your oil look?
4. Do you notice anything different about your exhaust? How does it smell?

5. How does your car run and drive since the overheat? Does it continue to overheat? Does it have to rev up a lot? Does it seem to hesitate at any point? How does it start up? Harder than before? ...
