Why Top radiator hose collapses?
In a closed cooling system, as the radiator fluid cools after shutting off the engine, the fluid contracts creating a vacuum in the colling system. This vacuum sucks fluid from the overflow tank via the radiator cap so as to keep the radiator full even when the engine is off. If the radiator cap's internal check valve is plugged or stuck shut, or the overflow hose/tube is clogged or not functioning, the vaccum will collapse the upper radiator hose instead of sucking fluid from the overflow tank as it should. Try to clean radiator cap by pushing on spring while submerged in clean warm soapy water so as to clean it out and also clean out overflow tank and hose/tube to make sure all gunk is removed. Also, make sure radiator fluid is clean. Better yet, drain and fill with new fluid. Should be done often anyway to prevent head gasket failure and or water pump failure. If no improvement, replace radiator cap with oem one from dealer. Do not use aftermarket. May not have check valve or may have improper pressure rating, leading to leaks and/or overheating.
