honda accord hose kit
Hello,
a few months ago, when I had gone to the dealer for some maitenance they had recommended to change the hoses for my accord 2001 (60k miles). at that time, they had suggested to get a hose kit that contains 9 hoses or so. Other than the 2 radiator hoses, where are the other 7 hoses located and their function? I believe most people recommend to just change the upper/lower radiator hoses. Can someone list any other "critical" hoses that should be changed ? Thank you! |

Upper and lower radiator, heater hoses, water pump interconnects, power steering hoses, vacuum hoses, emission hoses. I can think of 15 under the hood of my Blazer. And those are the common stuff. -- Steve W. |

others not needed at this time. The car is 8 1/2 yrs old and has 65k miles on it. and why only honda coolant? anything wrong with other types?

Not unless... 1) The hoses are showing cracks, or signs of the ends having been overtightened. The tiny hoses going to the throttle body and the thermostat housing almost never break unless abused. 2) The coolant is severely old and has attacked the insides of the hoses. If the factory clamps have been replaced with aftermarket worm-types, it's likely that somebody has overtightened the hoses. If the factory spring- type clamps are still present, chances are good that the hose ends are fine. > The car is 8 1/2 yrs old and has 65k miles on it. > > and why only honda coolant? anything wrong with other types? Honda coolant is made specifically for the metals and polymers that Honda uses in its engines. Others may, or may not, be completely compatible. -- Tegger |

A lot of people are not sure what the "V" means, so they tack it in front of any cylinder count. I'm waiting for somebody to eventually say his lawnmower has a "V1"... And speaking of multi-valve heads, check out /this/ puppy! <http://www.maserati-alfieri.co.uk/alfieri26.htm> -- Tegger |

Well, if it's a *riding* lawnmower, and you're planning on taking it on the freeway (not in Virginia or the District of Columbia however) it's not a bad idea. http://www.valentine1.com/ nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |
