i'd replace the hose rather than risk it bursting from being too weak and soft.

The car is 12 years old. It's time to replace the hose.

Replace that hose pronto.Let me guess it,s the original hose right? The hose is weak and will break at the worst possible time so you should replace it and probably the lower hose also and have the cooling system flushed while your at it with winter coming on.

need to replace the upper radiator hose before the hose becomes a problem. any parts store will sell you the right cap. just get one exactly like the OE.

Replace the hose ASAP. The problem is not the cap.

You need a replacement hose RIGHT NOW! It is only a matter of miles before you lose all coolant through a burst hose.

i own a repair shop,,and this is usually just the hose needing replaced on it ,its probably is the original one,and it needs to be changed,,if you put new one on it,and you see it swelling up on it,,id take it and have it checked out,,but it should be OK just to replace it,,if the new one swells it may be a sign of a head gasket leaking on it, and it leaks compression in the the coolant chamber and causes the hose to swell up really bad.but your is probably just the hose worn out on it,,good luck i hope this help,s

RADIATOR AND HEATER HOSES USUALLY GO BAD FROM THE INSIDE OUT SO YOU CANT SEE IT . YOU CAN FEEL IT IF YOU KNOW HOW. CHANGE THE HOSE AND REPLACE BOTH RADIATOR HOSES

Replace the hose, not hard to do nor is it expensive.
