Radiator Hoses - Gates - Molded
Hi All...
Planning to change the coolant on my 08 Sedan and since the car has 210,000km, I am going to change out the main radiation hoses(2 x upper, and 1 x lower)... Has anyone tried the Gates hoses? and how well molded are they to the OEM shape? Thanks! |

I've used Gates on numerous vehicles. Can't ever recall an issue.

Is there a particular reason to change hoses after some mileage? As long as they are not leaking, not cracked and not extremely soft or hard, I would be quite satisfied with keeping them as they are.

"Provided it's 10years old"
I always change all my main hoses during every flush. Usually every 3 or 4 years. The Yaris' hoses are so inexpensive it's a no brainer. This winter I will throw a set of hoses in a cart at rockauto and wait for a good coupon. Will be ready for next summer. |
