Water hoses

[Plumber1]

Car going in for service etc, 2004 3r 14k miles, do you think all the water pipes need changing in tunnel etc?
Car keeps leaving little puddles front and rear, is it an age thing they deteriorate or mileage?

When I inspected mine they looked in good Order , turbo water feed hoses are probably worth a look at .

I had the same at similar mileage, replaced full hose set with blue hose kit from ACT and pro alloy rad and haven't had a water leak since, they are great quality.

Only thing is it will be a fiddle of a job with the engine in, I had my engine out at the time.

Pressure tested mine after I found a hose that looked perished and could count the good hoses on one hand! I went for the ACT full hose kit and also commissioned Tim to have the two large hoses to the block made too (I don't think anyone else has these - they're not in the kit, you need to ask for them).

You mean these?



Think a few sets were made

The very same! Try fitting them with the engine in situ!!!
