Upper radiator hose has huge hole blown in it?
So I posted this a few days ago, but in need of another set of opinions just in case. My car has had its radiator, water pump, thermostat, and reservoir all changed in the past month. A couple days ago I drove home from work and then to Chipotle which is maybe a 15 min drive from my house. Got back into the car and as I pulled up to the stop sign by my street my temp gauge started to rise a bit, luckily it was like a 30 sec drive to my driveway but in that time after I parked it white smoke started coming from under the hood, nothing from tailpipe though. Popped the hood and the upper radiator hose had a hole about 3 inches wide in it looking like it really got blown up at the one point. Called the shop that put in my new radiator and they said they didn't replace the hoses. Could this just be old hoses that gave out or something major?
