Hoses : aluminium ones or not ?? Posted by Serge [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Lately, I have had a little problem with a hose situated between the water pump and the radiator. The hose was porous and the coolant fluid get through it in small quantity.
But that made me think : is it possible and good for the engine to have made a tuning change
by replacing all major synthetic / plastic hoses with those kind of aluminium hoses that we can see in racing cars.
Is it compatible, expensive ? Is it good, more resistant ? Is there effects on the engine ?
What kind of mech are able to do that kind of work ? Saab mech or more specialised ones ?
