And… to keep the coolant system sealed, you may want to buy a worm type clamp that you can open and install around the hose without removing the hose.

A couple of weeks ago I got under my son Jetta and found two clamps on the lower radiator hose (spring type and worm type) and remember that several years ago, he had a small leak but he was late for a meeting, so we added the worm type clamp without removing the hose (and hot coolant), and completely forgot about it..
Yes, I know is not the proper way, but it works..
