Well i had just got this problem today... i had changed the lower radiator hose and ever since then the engine seems to over heat... i see smoke coming from the back of the engine the hose is on and is tight nothing is getting out. Also it now makes a wierd "clicking" sound when i drive for more than 2 minutes could this all be from changing the hose?

When i go to check the pressure inside the hose it seems like i am pressing agains a hot pipe in the sense that it is hard as a rock when i try to squeeze it. Could this be a problem with the hose "being too tight"?

What prompted you to replace this hose in the first place?

If not leaking it's tight enough for now and that is not likely to be the problem.

The system must be full of coolant which can hide air and must be checked again and again till known full at radiator and proper level at recovery tank. Just filling a recovery tank will not refill a system that has been drained. Need to know some more about this, T

On top of the thermostat housing there should be a brass fitting. This is a bleeder screw. Open the screw while you add coolant (engine cold and off ). You should see air bubbles and eventually straight fluid. This bleeding has to be done every time the cooling system is filled.
