Question? What kind of life are you all getting from your coolant/heater hoses?
My 2005 has over 200,000 miles and all the hoses (except elbow hose for the rear flange, 5 years\70,000 miles), are original. They all appear to physically look good.
But given the mileage and age, I am thinking it's time for replacement of the all the hoses.
Part numbers for hoses:
4B0 121 055 J - Lower radiator hose and adapter hose to expansion tank/reservoir (2 hose assembly)
8D0 121 101 AB - Upper radiator hose
8D0 121 107 M – expansion tank to water pipe hose
038 121 086 F - Flange to oil cooler hose and oil cooler to water pipe (2 hose assembly)
038 121 101 - Flange to water pipe
8D0 819 373 N - Heat exchanger to water pipe
038 121 473 B - Rear cylinder head to water pipe vent hose
3b0 121 157 C - EGR Cooler hose to heat exchanger
3b0 121 157 B - EGR Cooler hose to flange
Other part numbers of interest:
038 121 132 D - Rear cylinder head flange
059 919 501 A - Coolant Temperature Sensor
N 903 168 02 Coolant Temperature Sensor Seal
044 121 113 - Thermostat
038 121 119 B - Thermostat neck sealing washer
038 121 121 B - Thermostat adapter/neck
Any opinions if I should go forward, or is there another mileage/age milestone I should wait for?
