Have a 1-week old Aspec, 200 miles on the engine. Engine temp suddenly starts moving to the H-Hot Hot (came very close to the H) pulled over to let it cool, luckily I shut the engine before the 'engine is melting' warning sign came on, white smoke/steam coming out the hood. Long story short, I get it towed to the dealer. A hose to the radiator came off, tech said dont worry no engine damage and we made sure the hose was securely clamped this time.

Well, could there have actually been any engine damage done? Thanks.

 

which hose?

 

Coolant hose?..just spoke to the tech briefly, am picking up the car tomorrow

 

"hose for the heater core have come loose" The service manger said that the clamp was not properly attached from the factory. Said they ran tests to make sure engine had no leaks etc...
