Radiator protection?
50

Asked by Chelsae Mar 01, 2021 at 02:57 AM about the 2003 Hyundai Elantra GLS Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So basically I hit a medium sized dog at 50 in my
Elantra and trashed the entire radiator assembly
and support. Due to covid couldnt afford the
support as well until my next check but had to get
the car running so I could still get to work. That
being said, the radiator is sitting in the support on
the passenger side and is clasped on the top as
well, but is barely sitting on the support on the
driver side (is clasped on top though) and the drain
plug is ON the k frame. What can I do to protect my
radiator until I can get a new support? I do delivery
and I take some pretty rough roads so anything will
help please.

And this is just a side question but how much
pressure should be in my radiator hoses? Flow is
just fine but the line feels extra squishy? Lol

All you can do is jury rig some support. If hoses are too soft they probably need replacement. You are risking the engine if you blow a hose.
