Most belts and hose fail from the inside out. Rubber hose (which are actually made of neoprene or other synthetic materials) can deteriorate with age and exposure to heat. Today’s hoses can last 8 to 10 years with no problems, but eventually the hose material will become hard and brittle. Tiny cracks develop in the rubber which eventually cause the hose to split, blister or leak. Oil on the outside of coolant hose can also accelerate the breakdown of the hose material. This type of deterioration can usually be seen on the outside. But what often escapes detection is what is going on inside hose.
