bmdubya1198 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Now that I've finally filled the cooling system after changing the water pump this past weekend, I have discovered a couple leaks. One of them is coming from one of the heater hoses where it connects to the rear water pipe. I was going to order a set of do88 silicone heater hoses, but I realized they are different part numbers after searching on eEuro for the 2000 model didn't show any results. eEuro shows the do88 hoses are only for 1999 and older models. Does anyone know if the older style hoses are compatible with 2000 turbo models? I know NA heater hoses are different, but I thought all '94-2000 turbo heater hoses were the same. Volvo Parts Lisle shows different PNs for -1999 and 2000-. However interestingly enough, it shows both are compatible with P80s from '98-'04 (both NA and turbo), while one extends back to '93. This applies to both the inlet and outlet. PNs... 2000- version 9485552 outlet 2000- version 9485553 inlet -1999 version 9186847 outlet -1999 version 9186849 inlet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihatespeedbumps Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 The early style hoses appear to be a few inches longer and have some extra bends. My guess is the hard water pipe design changed in 00, though I don't know that for sure. It's been too long since I've worked on one of these to remember the subtle differences.

bmdubya1198 Posted December 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Just looking at the water pipe across the back of the engine in my 2000, it looks slightly different than my '98 or my cousin's '99. I know it used the shorter turbo coolant hose on the driver's side (much easier to access than the older, longer style) but I'm not sure the differences for the heater hose. It's also much easier to see the lower/shorter heater hose where it connects to the water pipe, but again, I can't see exactly what's different. Looking at the pics on the parts listings, the only difference that jumps out at me is that the crimp where it meets the hard line looks different. Obviously that makes no difference at all as far as fitment... maybe it's just an updated design. I just know I don't want to spend $72/hose on new heater hoses from Volvo, and I'm certainly not putting URO parts hoses in my car. I'd rather spend less than half on silicone hoses and know they'll last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
