New coolant hoses
New coolant hoses
My radiator and heater hoses are looking a bit worn out, so I was looking around for a kit of new hoses. Does anyone know which brands I should look for? There are a bunch on ebay (HPS, Samco, generic stuff), and I'm wondering what other people use.

Re: New coolant hoses
Samco is the only company I know that sells the heater hoses. You can buy them through Option Auto.
Re: New coolant hoses
samco is top quality. i have a set of the OBX silicon rad hose from ebay but i hear the walls split easy. i havent had a problem but if mine do split i will replace them with the samco version. samco is the only place you can get the heater hoses. the dealer discontinued them plus they are the same price as the samco anyways. auto parts stores dont sell the correct hose either since for some reason the aftermarket heater cores inlet and outlet point in the same direction which is downand the aftermarket heater hoses support the aftermarket heater cores. I have the samco heater hoses and they fit awesome
