Does anybody know what would cause the hoses on to collaspe in my 1987 300 E Mercedes.
I have always put in anti freeze when needed. It didn't overheat just got a lil warmer then usual but not overheating status.

Not sure if its just the hoses need to be replaced or ? any answers would be appreciated.

Thanks

If all hoses collapsed then you have an engine problem perhaps a head gasket. If just one then it may be just a fluke. Always use good quality hoses preferabley from the dealer.
