Well I completed changing all the hoses yesterday, I can see why the dealer charges $1200 + to do the job? I was suprised, the oil cooler hoses went without any hitches, I felt changing the small hoses in the throtle body were the hardest. I bought a Mighty Vac to refill the system which seemed to work quite well, I started the car up and checked for leaks while it was still on stands, it came up to temp and and stayed below the 1/2 way point, I did notice a small amount of coolant below the overflow tank, and am hoping it was just some spillage, I cleaned it up and will recheck tonight, that seems to be the only place that has a potential problem, if a hose is leaking it would have to be one of the three that connect below the overflow tank, I will use SS screw type clamps to fix, if necessary. I also put in a new tank.
real glad that job is completed, I should be good to go for a while hoses water pump and timing belt are all new.
