Thread: Coolant/Heater hose questions

  1. #1

    Default Coolant/Heater hose questions

    I was looking at the various hose replacement kits and they all seem to have 9 hoses with them. I figured I could order all those parts via Rock Auto and come in under the 100+ dollar they want for the kits, not to mention I recently replaced the upper and lower hoses (both lower hoses) while doing a timing belt replacement and don't need them

    I've found both heater core hoses, and the little by-pass hose for the thermostat.

    What are the last 3 pieces I am missing? I am trying to get them all made by Gates.

    Intake manifold.

    More specifically, 2x to the piece on the intake manifold (just above the fuel rail area), and 1x behind/under the throttle body (comes out the passenger side of the throttle body, then goes behind it to the head).

    Apparently I can't post pics anymore , so http://www.guapozx.com/users/dogpile/3hoses.jpg is a link to a scan from a parts fiche with those hoses circled.

    Buy the Mishimoto silicone hoses and never buy another hose.

    Thanks for the links those were the ones I was looking for.

    Will the Silicone hoses really last that long? I put mine on a change interval to match the timing belt change. Would be nice not to have to worry about them again.
