usually after the car has had a chance to cool down, the hose should be "spongey" when it is grasped, but after attaining operating temperature, the hose should become firm as the cooling system presurizes up. it will remain so, again, until the engine/cooling system cools down. Dont ever open the radiator cap when the engine has been run to operating temperature or not had a chance to cool down adequately, the pressurized system is very hot and you risk serious injury!!!

Where is it thermostat?

...probably between the engine and the radiator intake (the hose at the top of the radiator), probably mounted right on the engine. It shouldn't be hard to find, just trace the hose back from the radiator to the engine, where it couples into the engine that is where you should find the thermostat.

On the 2002 Nissan Maxima what would cause the radiator fan to vibrate when it turns on?

I just had that same problem on my 02 Maxima SE. My radiator was shaking so hard, and my fan would vibrate so loud, that if you didn't look at my car, you'd think it was a motorcycle by the way it sounded. That was embarrassing. It sounded just awful! I bought a new radiator fan. It cost about $100 and $60 to service it. It works just fine now. It runs so quietly now! :oD

Why does your top hose from your radiator get hard?

If the temp gauge reads normal and the engine is not overheating, this is normal. The system is designed to hold 15-17 psi of pressure (whatever the radiator cap is set for). This pressure will make the hoses feel hard.

Follow the upper radiator hose from the radiator to the engine and there is the thermostat housing. Make sure when you reinstall it the spring goes toward the engine. fallow the upper radiator hose to the engine and that should lead right into the thermostat housing is pretty hard to get at i had to bring mine to a local mechanic Just follow the upper radiator to the thermostat housing. Very easy to get at!! No need to take it to a garage!


If a 1996 Saturn SL motor was replaced because a head was blown and oil was leaking into the radiator why is oil still leaking into the radiator?

Sometomes it is hard to get all of the oil out of the cooling system. However the place that replaced the engine should flush the cooling system until it is clean. Also if your car has an engine oil cooler , it could be the cooler in the radiator and not have been the engine in the first place.

Assuming the engine is not overheating, it is normal for the hoses to get hard. The pressure in the cooling system should reach the maximum of whatever the radiator cap is set for, usually 15 to 17 lbs.
