I could replace many coolant hoses - not just the lower one. 850 1995

I had a small crack develop in the lower radiator hose several months back (95-850). If the car was warmed thoroughly the pressure was enough to make coolant leak through the crack. This hose when cold felt softer than the others.

I replaced them all with ones I bought from europartsdirect. They looked and fit in all respects like the originals except the retainer clips and sealing rings where the heater hoses go into the bulkhead (firewall) were a little different. I also replaced the coolant reservoir cap which though not leaking was cracked.

I replaced them all as we sometimes go on road trips and I did not want to be without a hose in a remote location. There has been no further trouble with the hoses.
