Have you replaced coolant hoses yet?

[John Zuber]

I have a 2004 ST that has been, for the most part, trouble free. I have only 60K miles and I've never replaced any coolant hoses. Besides the top and bottom radiator hoses, there are a number of smaller hoses on this vehicle..so I'm not looking forward to this job. Should I just change out the radiator hoses and leave the small hoses alone?

Honestly i would not change hoses until about 120K..... Check them for hardness and cracks otherwise leave them be....

The only hose that I have replaced is the short hose below the thermostat, and I have over 180k on my ST.

You mean the short water pump "bypass hose from hell". LOL :angry:

Well, I guess I'm more concerned about age than mileage...but again, really don't want to do an unnecessary job. thanks
