Leaking Radiator Hose in Malaysia? An Emergency Patch Guide for SG Drivers

Why Radiator Hoses Fail, Especially on Long Drives

The Immediate Steps to Take: Your First 60 Seconds

• Pull Over Safely: The moment you see steam or the temperature warning light, find a safe place to stop. Use the shoulder, an emergency bay, or the next exit.
• Turn Off the Engine: Immediately shut off the engine to prevent further heat buildup and potential warping of engine components.
• Do NOT Open the Radiator Cap: The cooling system is under extreme pressure and the coolant is scalding hot. Opening the cap can cause severe burns.
• Note Your Location: Be ready to provide your location using a highway marker, the nearest exit, or a GPS pin. This is vital for a fast response.
