I have an '02 New Beetle TDI (118k miles), purchased new in '02. I've never done any maintenance on the cooling system and so far there's been no problems. However, we are planning some road trips for this summer and I'd like to get the vehicle in shape so that it does not strand us somewhere in the wilderness of eastern OR! One idea is to replace all coolant hoses and coolant. Any ideas about what this might cost, I have a good/expensive VW mechanic locally, or other suggestions? Any general suggestions about getting an older TDI in shape for summer travels would be much appreciated as well. All other recommended maintenance has been done on schedule. Thanks!
