Before I bought my car it was wrecked in the front. The other day I noticed that one of the coolant lines running accros the front part of the radiator was pinched a little. My car never runs hot or anything but, is there any damage that a pinched line can cause? Thanks guys!

 

It would help if you described where the hose was running to. If you are not having issues then I guess keep driving but coolant lines are in place for a reason. I can probably help if you elaborate.

I am guessing since you say across the radiator it is the hose to the overflow. It wont make you over heat but, you should fix it.

 

Its not a hose, its a metal line. I dont know where its comin from nor do I know where its goin. Its behind the front bumper right in front of the radiator about mid ways up. It has a little clip on the radiator to hold the line in place. Does that help?

 

That would be an A/C lne not a coolant line. Does your A/C work ? It wont effect your cooling system

 

there are two kinds of lines that run in that area.....one is power steering and the other is for the AC....

Hope this pic helps...



the big loopy line is a power steering cooler...if its not that, you'll have to post your own picture....i had to do a lot of digging for this pic...lol....its old!
