so i have a small coolant leek in my car. I bring it to the local repairman who has been a friend of the family since my grandfather first got a car. but anyway he tells me that all the coolant hoses are going and the aftermarket clamps (because my engine was overhalled like a year ago) are going to break real soon. so the moral of the story how much is it going to cost to get all that piping replaced and put in? and is it going to be worth it on a 95 with 144000 miles on it but only like 40k since the overhall?

relatively fresh engine. If the car is otherwise in good shape and you enjoy driving it, spending a few hundred on a full set of hoses is waaaay less expensive than a car payment.


Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

If you going to be replacing the hoses, you might wanna see if they offer those blue Goodyear silicone hoses like the police cars have

I just took a quick look at what my hoses would cost me...about $92.12

I'll probably throw away all of my old ones at about 50,000 miles.
