Subject:      Coolant Hoses

I seen that replacing the elaborate cooling hose set-up in a Vanagon runs around $450. I've also seen that you may be able to get some generic matches at NAPA or somewhere that are a close enough match for some of the hoses.

My question is that since I doubt that most of the Vanagons have had all their hoses replaced ever, is there certain hoses that tend to fail more than others in the system?

Or am I wrong and all the hoses have been replaced in a lot of Vanagons? Or are they that good of hoses that after say 15 years they are still in good shape?

Any hose leak emergency tips out there? : )

Thanks, Mark Ingalls ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
