hey guys. I wanted to replace my water hoses and i have another thread on the cost for parts. i have a fluidyne radiator as well..thing is , i just bought this fd and i don't know how old the water hoses are and had the upgraded radiator already when i bought it. I just don't want to break a water seal and risk having a rebuild...i have 87k on odo...should i do it?? turbo hoses, all water hoses, and radiator upper and lower...silicon hoses have already been replaced. what do u think?? Somone told me u don't have to replace the hoses if you have a fluidybe radiator??? how come u don't have to replace the hoses if you have a fluidyne? there still a bunch of heat under the hood and couldn't hoses still break?? does any of that make sense? what do u guys think??? im gonna go see the mechanic tom afternoon.....if it's not too necessary then i rather not spend the lute.

 

here's what the other guys said...

Well, if you replace ALL of the hoses (heater hoses included), it will cost probably closer to $200. When I replaced my radiator with a Fluidyne earlier this year, I saw no need to replace all the hoses and simply replaced the upper and lower radiator hoses. They were about $30 shipped from Mazdaformance.

 

i would change the heater hose and throttle body hose, for these two have plagued me dearly.
