They tend to split from age near the connections. I repalced all mine with silicone hose available from hosetechniques.com. More expensive than the cheap rubber type but they'll last the life of the car. Check the condition of the belts while your at it and the motor mounts. Why do you think the heater core's bad? A sweet smell from the vents? Your car may be under warranty for replacement as the heater core is a weak link in most 9000 Saabs. I and a lot of other people use Bar's Leak in the radiator (the small silver bottle stuff). It will help prevent the core from leaking and does lube the water pump. As long as you maintain the car (fluids, etc) I wouldn't concern myself too much with replacing things that aren't broke. Maintaining what you have is a better idea. As they say, if it ain't broke...
