Don't forget to replace your hoses!

[SoCalDude]

I took my car to Niguel Motors (Ramon) last week to basically get a tune up and other routine maintenance so I can hopefully pass smog. Was reading about other cars getting serviced and decided to have him replace all (21) hoses as well just a a precaution. Good thing I did. My 91 has 109k miles on it. Ramon said it looked like only one hose was ever changed on my car. He said on one hose as he was pulling it off, he could feel the inside of the hose crunching in his hand.

So if your car is getting up there in age, don't forget to have your hoses replaced as well.

This is a warning that I reiterate again and again to all owners.

Don't wait, just do it.

No kidding, I had mine done when there was a slow coolant drip that had just started, zahntech said most of the hoses were about to burst.

 

[goldNSX]

It's no surprise to me that he found 1 hose breaking because there are 22 and not 21 pieces to replace. No, seriously, I understood what you were saying and thanks pointing out that a visual inspection of the hoses is absolutely worthless. The weave structure inside the hose is the critical point, nothing else. If a hose let go it's because the weave structure broke.

Just wonxeding bow much does a hose job cost?

 

[shawn110975]

800-900 at most dealers.

but the hoses only cost like 200 bucks from SOS. so if you have 8 hours do it your self.

Most of them are a Bitch to get ot though.

lots of people that have done it say pay someone to do it.

I just had mine done. The peace of mind is great ... and it'll probably be even greater while driving over the burnin' desert on the way to NSXPO in a couple of months.:biggrin:

If you're having the timing belt replaced in the near future, it's a good time to do the hoses. You'll probably be replacing the water pump with the timing belt, and the procedure gives better access to some of the hoses, as well as normally flushing all the coolant at that time. And in the future, it will make it easier to remember when you had it all done.

Obviously one of the worst things that can happen is to have a hose burst and overheat your aluminum engine - bad things happen - replace as Ken and Ken say! TB/WP interval is not a bad time.

Not to start another crazy thread out of this but - is there a schedule for this maintenance item? Hasdrubal - what was the mileage of your car and age - had the hoses ever been replaced? I'm just curious guys don't flame me. :wink:

I had all of em done when mine had the TB/WP done for the 2nd time. I had 42k miles on my 91. Hoses seemed pretty soft to feel.

 

[nsxtasy]

is there a schedule for this maintenance item?

The maintenance schedule in the manuals says they should be inspected every 30K miles or 2 years, but there is no specified service interval for replacing them.

The maintenance schedule in the manuals says they should be inspected every 30K miles or 2 years, but there is no specified service interval for replacing them.

Good info Ken, thanks! That's pretty typical for all water coolers I guess.

The maintenance schedule in the manuals says they should be inspected every 30K miles or 2 years, but there is no specified service interval for replacing them.

When the hoses start crunching, it is past time to replace! :biggrin:

 

[Nukem]

Was going to have them replaced in the next month or 2, but if its easier to do it when the pump and TB are being done then I will just have Acura inspect the hoses when I take my car there for an oil change. Since I have another 3 yrs until my TB/WP are due.

Shawn,
Do you have any contact numbers for SOS? Been searching but can't find them. Also, are there any diagrams included with the hoses showing where they are located?
Thanks for the help.

I can do ALL hoses in the engine bay within an hour if the engine is out. With the engine in it takes more like 3-5 hours.

I just got my hoses, all 21 of them, replaced at niguel motor about two weeks ago. I have a 96 @ 97,000 miles. My hoses started to crack and I was leaking coolant for about two weeks before that. Definitely should replace them before something worse happen

heres the link to the SOS hose kit all 21 of them

Just had the Acura dealership replace all of the hoses - $900. While it was there I had them change out the brake fluid too. All preventive - so now I have peace of mind on the hoses. The dealer has been great. 5 star treatment, loaner car, etc.

Now I have a "baseline" on the major maintenance items on my 91 - feels good! :smile: Jay

Are we talking about coolant hoses only or vacuum hoses too?

 

[dlynes]

800-900 at most dealers.

but the hoses only cost like 200 bucks from SOS. so if you have 8 hours do it your self.

Most of them are a Bitch to get ot though.

lots of people that have done it say pay someone to do it.

I once had 1 hose burst and it took me hours to get my hands in there and install a new one...since then, my last trip to the shop I had all my hoses replaced as a precaution.

I took my car to Niguel Motors (Ramon) last week to basically get a tune up and other routine maintenance so I can hopefully pass smog. Was reading about other cars getting serviced and decided to have him replace all (21) hoses as well just a a precaution. Good thing I did. My 91 has 109k miles on it. Ramon said it looked like only one hose was ever changed on my car. He said on one hose as he was pulling it off, he could feel the inside of the hose crunching in his hand.

So if your car is getting up there in age, don't forget to have your hoses replaced as well.

Since your car is also a 1991, I'm curious if TSB 92-030 applied to your VIN...and if it was ever performed.

I'm surprised to see busted hoses on a 1998. Is your car a daily-driver, high-mileage, or with the stock engine cover removed (or modified)?

 

[sidwac]

My '96 has 25,500 miles on it and garage kept for most of its life in California. Probably going to let it ride for a couple of years before changing the hoses, but will change and not let things go for several years.

p.s. changed my hoses on the Grand National last year after 22 years and 65,000 miles. They still looked good after all those years just like my TB/WP I did at Don's last year. All a matter of risk you are willing to take.

Hard to say. I've only owned it for the past 6 years.
