I'm thinking of getting a complete hose kit and replacing all the coolant hoses as a set; since they are 17 years old;
and am planning a decent road trip in the Spring.
Has anyone done this, are any of the hose clamps difficult to access? Was it worth it?
I have another way to get to work so it could be a job spread over a few days if I need to.
I wish I could wait for the 240k coolant replacement to do the hose work ( car now has 212k ) but that will take us until 2020.
The road trip will add 10k at least, but still not get us to 240k, so should I just suck it up and replace the coolant now anyway
or try and catch it and just top up.
I think 18 year old hoses are too old to risk on a long trip.
