coolant hose recommendations Posted by Rose quartz 87 [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Hi All,
I've replaced my coolant hoses with the eeuroparts uroparts hoses and they don't seem to be lasting very long. The rubber has swollen, deformed and started to weep at the ends in some cases in a very short time. They're affordable so I've replaced what was broken, but don't want to keep dong this, since it's false economy and a hassle!
Some background. It has a new nissens radiator, the gauge is always at 4 o'clock, fans coming on when the gauge reaches a little over half way in extended stop/start traffic. No signs of head gasket issues. Turbo was rebuilt by G-pop shop. No signs of any issues with it. Overall, the car seems to be running well. (Apart from a slight leak at the rubber bellow in the fuel tank and creaking front sway bar end links, but I digress).
Does anyone have any recommendations for quality coolant hose replacements that aren't the do88 silicone ones at $240 for the set?!
Many thanks for reading.
