I'm asking if anyone here has replaced all the rubber coolant hoses.
I have purchased mine. I intend to swap them out and replace with new.
Do the coolant replacement also.
I also bought a new clear reservoir.

The least accessible hoses should be two lower ones coming off the water pump. You will have to remove the fan clutch. Everything else should be very easy. Watch the small bore hose from the water pump to the auxiliary water pump. It can be ripped apart if it is close to the fan blade. There is a mark on the hose where it should be attached to the clip on the wheel well. I can't think of any other tip.

Is this a cosmetic procedure to the engine compartment or you have a blockage/leak?

Also do the 2 small hoses to the oil cooler I had one of them get a small pin hole in it about 6 months ago. I have also replaced all my hoses. I did find, and it was only because of the position of the screw part of the air intake clamp. The hose to the aux water pump was getting a hole worn into it.
