I had to change my upper radiator hose yesterday because there was a hole on it. Coolant was running out the hole so I replaced it. Now my car keeps overheating and I hear a hard knocking noise. It seems like the noise is coming from the hose. I can send a video of the sound. I do not know what the problem is or where to start.

Hello,

It sounds like you have a thermostat that is stuck closed which will cause the thumping noise you are describing. Please follow this guide to get the thermostat changed out.

Please let us know what happens.
