Question:
I had my car running to start the defrost and it started overheating. I tried to turn it off but it started jumping. When I opened the hood, it spewed antifreeze everywhere. The guys who were helping me, said it was the radiator hose. Are they right? It was a 1985 chevy celebrity. and If it is the radiator hose, is it driveable to my house (about 5 miles)
Answers:
your hoses are probably rotted
it sounds like there is a hole in your hose. I don't think it will drive and if it does you might ruin your car.
thermostat bad......need to replace.
Drive slowly....and check the thermostat...it might be sticking.....good luck...

Could be the hose, but there is no way of me being sure without looking. If it is cold, you should be able to get it home if it is a quick trip. No stop and go traffic, no idling for long periods. Go straight home.how do I syphon gas from my 2004 dodge durango?
no if u drive it anywhere you can ruin the engineAnyone own a Hummer and have problems with transmission shifting and engine light coming on.?
very simple go to the nearest parts house and buy the hose and antifreeze and do it in the parking lot but catch all anti freeze (if a cop sees u u might get a ticket) if u cant do it urself an employee sould help youSteam from TailPipes in cold weather...?
it could be your hose and if it is put some duck tape on the hose and it will make it back to your house.would low break fluid cause the check engine light to come on ?
Your car could over heat damaging the engine. Just fix it now. Houses cost like 10 to 25 dollars plus the cost of the anitfreeze needed to fill the system up.You'll overheat in way less than 5 miles. You need to at least patch it and fill it with water to get home and replace all the hoses, not just the busted one.
My transmission makes a deep sounding clunk noise when I change from P to D and from D to R?
SOUNDS LIKE A BAD THERMOSTAT OR POSSIBLY HOSES. BOTH ARE PRETTY CHEAP. IF YOU ONLY DRIVE IT 5 MILES IT WILL BE OK TO DRIVE IT HOME. DONT DRIVE IT HARD AND TURN IT OFF WHEN YOU GET IT HOME.Does anyone know how to change a thermostat in a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
Could also be your thermostat. Have it taken out and set in boiling water or direct applied heat to see if the valve moves off the housing seat.my airbag light has come on in my BMW318ise can anyone tell me how to fix?
yes, but make sure to get it fixed right awayIs there any way to fix an electric rear window demister which has lost some lines?
With the burst radiator hose, the engine will overheat almost immediately. Probably, that already had happened but if you are lucky - replace the hose on the spot, it's no biggie. Keep in mind that if the cooling system is empty, temp gauge may not show overheat, especially if it's located in the radiator tank. But engine damage will still occur.03 Hyundai Elantra - Windshield Washer Ejector Tubing??
