Dont get ripped off replacing your hoses

You can replace every single coolant hose you have with new stainless clamps for less than 200.00. I think I replaced 9 hoses in all.
Upper rad
Lower rad
return hose to res
feed hose to res
U shaped water pump hose
inlet heater hose
outlet heater hose
little hose behind head
one more little hose near driver's side of head
The only one that is a real PITA is the heater hose to firewall connection. This one you must do from under the car. While you are at it replace the vacuum lines, CCV hoses, and check your turbo to IC air hose as well. Change your coolant and collect the old stuff for proper disposal. Some say to replace the thermostat and gasket as well, but I keep a spare thermostat, idler pulleys and clutch cable in the trunk.
Now, you just saved 600.00 and have the satisfaction of a job well done (I hope). It took me less than four hours, and I took my time.
