When to replace coolant hoses...

[dr. d]

my beater car just turned 16yo (honda city). it's holding up pretty well for such an old car. still got the original hoses (everything's original except for wheel bearings and such). but now i'm a bit worried about hose failure

you think they'd last 20yrs? LOL. fwiw my coolant temp is 82 degrees. never overheated

"pag malambot na."
squeeze test.

but one can always replace 'em, for peace of mind.

my altis hose is 18 years old and it still looks and feels fine.
