Cooling system hoses question

I have 80K on my 03 sedan and figured it's time to change all the cooling system hoses, other then the top and bottom radiator hose and the overflow tank hose what other cooling system hoses are their to change? A link to where I can buy them all would be nice

Thanks in advance

They sell an awesome COMPLETE silicone hose kit that replaces everything.

I would wait for the manufacturer guidelines on replacements. Otherwise it's expensive you know.

I have the complete Z1 kit it is pretty badass. Replaces almost every hose under the hood.

There really isn't a maintainence schedule for hoses. Give them an inspection and replace anything that's questionable, but you really don't need to do a blanket replacement unless you want peace of mind. If they are soft and pliable, they are mostly likely fine.

I have 110k on my original hoses and plenty of guys probably have more.

However, i'm all for over-maintanence. I'm guilty of it as well

Rubber deteriorates over time, not mileage. Most of today's rubber hoses on vehicles last ~10 years.

So you are coming up on the time to change them. Wouldn't hurt to replace them with the full Z1 kit while you're under there.

I just replaced my radiator on my 03 with 95k miles and I was worried about the hoses beforehand... I have to say they looked almost like new. I bet yours are fine.

Thanks just what I was looking for the red hoses will match your grounding wires. For those who are confident in OEM hoses out lasting the car, I have had past experience with a blown hose not fun....so I would rather put out $78 .

Thanks!
