I've recently had a new radiator on my vehicle and recently the hot water pipe that goes into the radiator keeps popping off, then the car is running so all the water comes out. I've recently put jubilee clips on it instead of the old clip but it doesn't keep to of worked because it keeps popping off.

Hi,

If the radiator cap isn't releasing pressure, it can cause it to happen or the hose may be worn and not longer able to stay attached. Have you tried replacing the hose? If you do, make sure where it connects is clean and dry.

Let me know.
