Hi, JonJon On change hose - It depends how old is your hoses (upper and lower) and on flush, it depends on how old is your radiator coolant. if your connection is broken like mine and hose are new, the easy way is to disconnect the two end and change the connector and then refill with the same amount of lost coolant. But if you think the two hoses are old and about time to change and get dirty one time, then you can get new hose and perform a "drain" and "fill" on coolant for peace of mind since coolant chemical only last up to certain miles or certain years and even coolant looks clean, those chemical are use up/gone. Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching.
@@diycheapdaddy2113 Thanks for answering great help and video. So one day I drove to Dallas coolant was boiling and radiator coolant pipe was leaking. So I just changed the pipe and car feels good now. I’m going to Dallas again should I do something more after change the pipe I read like remove air form the system or something like that? I’m worry my car gets overheated again going to Dallas….what do you recommend?
@@jonjon9237 The "pipe" you mentioned I believed is the connector in this video. Radiator rubber hose has time limit and it will age as time go by. The bad thing is there are lot of rubber "hose" and eventually sooner or later, they all need to be replace. 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. The upper hose carry the heat and it is hot all the time and normally it is the first one break or leak due to heat/hot. Can you inspect your upper and lower hose for bubbling, oil, dirt, expanded...etc. Google how to inspect bad radiator hose. If it has those bad condition, it is better to change it because it is not that difficult if you are handy and can save lot of money. On the radiator, after you warm up the car and the next morning, the coolant holding tank would be low, add enough coolant back to the top (full) and repeat until it always stayed at "Full" level. Don't unscrew or touch those engine/radiator bleeding valve, normally it will break or leak due to old car and was not being turn lifetime until now. Just add coolant and then check level and should be ok after 2-3 time , then the level will be stable. For me, I don't want to call AAA or have it tow because it costs almost the same amount for 2 lower hose and 1 upper hose and 1-2 gallon coolant and it depends where the car break down. You can check rockauto and for this 2009 Corolla old car, part are starting on sales and since you need at least 3 hose, combine shipping is not that bad. I actually get my GATE hose on sale in Amazon too. I guess the major question is when is the hose being replaced. Most Good Brand especially Toyota OEM hose should last at least 4-5 year or 50,000 - 60,000 miles but since you are in Dallas, it really can shorten the life of the hose. I am sure you can locate another video on corolla upper and lower radiator hose replacement. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Also, I am pretty sure your "pipe" leak is at the same location of my pipe which is the smaller hose go back to top of the radiator cap area. I think it is a common defect and also when people work on the car, they normally put their stomach /body on the top little hose connection.
JonJon, please check Amazon. I saw my 2009 Toyota Corolla hose is on sale for less than $12.00 each (67% off) Gates 23521 and Gate 23519 and Free Shipping.
Hi Benson, that connector is called coolant pipe connector, water hose outlet connector or pipe connector, the part number under Dorman is 902-924 Engine Coolant Pipe. (OEM part # is 16577-0T030) I would used Dorman rather than other unknown brand since it is almost the same price or just $1-$2 more. But I have Dorman product before and I don't have issue on it. Thank you so much for your comment 👍and thank you for watching.
Hi, Brett, thanks for your comment. if you still have the OEM Toyota hose clamp, then you need a Plier to remove the hose; otherwise, you may have one of the clamp which use a Phillips / Flat head screw driver to open and tighten up. If your radiator hose has not been changed before and even you try to twisted it, it still did not come out then you also may need a (not sharp) flat head screw driver to help the hose disconnect from the engine block or radiator connection. Be careful not to damage anything. Be Patient and go slow. If you plan to do a Drain and Fill of the radiator's coolant at the same time when you change this Pipe Connector then you also need a small pliers to turn the radiator drain cock if your fingers are not strong enough. Be very careful not to damaged drain hole; otherwise, you need to get a new one plastic drain cock or a new radiator if the threads are messed up. Be careful not to tighten that radiator drain plug too much because it will crack because it is made with plastic. I am in California and car does not have rust but if you in cold weather states (salt/rust), I would just leave it alone due to the age and condition of the car; however, it is a judgement call depends the condition of the car and radiator. Thanks for you comment and thank you for watching.
Just FYI. If you plan to keep your car, same part but available in metal ( Aluminum) and not plastic; therefore, the metal connector for sure will last much longer than the plastic and I remember it is only few dollars more. Good Luck.

Do I have to change all hoses ? And do I need to flush the coolant after this ?

what's the name of that connector please ?

You can upgrade to aluminum coolant pipe Dorman 902-924HP
