Sandro Seminara Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 So I have over 220,000 miles on my 95 850R and orignal hoses. They still look good, but I don't want to chance it anymore. I was going to replace the following hoses, but not sure if their are others I should replace:Upper Radiator HoseLower Radiator HoseExpansion tank inlet hoseExpansion tank outlet hoseAny others? The expansion tank is about a year old and so is the cap so I'm good there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better and more durable than stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Michael T Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I have FCP hoses on my car. I just did the upper heater hose this week after original burst . The inlet/outlet hoses I replaced over a year ago and they are doing fine. I'm sure silicone will kick jerk though. Except why would you do that on a 220000 mile car.

billy780 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Hey, if it runs fine and you want to keep it, why not?I would replace ALL of the hoses, (heater included) and I would use the FCP hoses, I have used them on several cars and they have worked without any problems.
