Shelf life coolant hose (sitting part) + how often to replace Posted by bender [Email] (#268) [Profile/Gallery] (more from bender) on Tue, 26 Apr 2022 10:30:58 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I replaced most of the hoses about 8 years ago on my Viggen. It's been driven 10k? I hardly drive it these days and it doesn't see winter.
Should I be replacing the hoses again? How long do they last? Or maybe that's overkill?
Also, I never got around to replacing the lower rad hose, so that one is original and should be about 20 years old! I've had a new one sitting in my parts cabinet at home for about...8 years? Is it still okay to use, or should I just toss it?
Since I'll be replacing the lower rad hose, I thought maybe I should do them all again but not sure if it's worth it.
Also, the "U" shaped one near the water pump has never been replaced. Everything else has.
