Re: Shelf life coolant hose (sitting part) + how often to replace Posted by bender [Email] (#268) [Profile/Gallery] (more from bender) on Wed, 27 Apr 2022 07:38:30 In Reply to: Re: Shelf life coolant hose (sitting part) + how often to replace, SPG Jr [Profile/Gallery] , Wed, 27 Apr 2022 06:35:12 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I see. It's been 8 years that I replaced them, and something tells me they're probably just fine. But maybe it's not a bad idea to replace everything if I'll also be doing the lower radiator hose. The ones I have never replaced are the U-shaped house, lower rad hose, the two throttle body hoses. Other than the difficult lower rad hose, are the other ones difficult to replace?
Do you also replace the spring clamps with new ones?
It looks like the lower hose from the expansion tank to the engine is "no longer available" from Saab so I'll either keep the 8-year-old one on there or have to get another one. I don't really trust the aftermarket ones.
