Intercooler hoses 700

The turbo hoses on my '84 760 seem to be "sweating" oil. I know that they're original, since the car has been in the family since new. Are FCP's hoses any good or do I need OE ? The AMM to turbo hose is newer.

Many thanks,
Dave

    I actually built my own using PVC piping. It takes a little finagling to get it to seat properly, but they work like a charm; I didn't want to pay so much for the hoses from FCP or anybody, really, only to have the heat and oil corrode them again. Total cost of PVC hoses was around $20.

    Pretty easy to do, if you're up to it.

    While FCP hoses are OK, anecdotal reports of selected fitment problems are out there. Check out the prices at Borton Volvo in Minneapolis for OEM.
