    Collapsed hoses in car
    My radiator hoses are soft and recently changed water pump and thermastat because I had very little to no heat. With the new items installed the temperature gage shows low pressure. I was wondering if maybe the hoses were the real problem?

    If you haven't replace the soft radiator and heater hoses, yet, this link may help:

    Collapsed hoses can definitely prevent heat from getting to the heater core. Be sure to flush the system and refill with a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water. Reading some of the links, in the Sticky, on antifreeze and overheating may help.
