Radiator Hose Brand Preference 900

posted by  someone claiming to be JohnB on  Fri Jun 27 08:32 CST 2003 [RELATED]

The real issue is cooling to the ENGINE. The turbo will survive a coolant blowout...the engine may not.

I've found the best hoses are volvo OEM hoses. Get them as cheap as you can.
Aftermarket hoses, unless they're high performance silicone and guaranteed for life by a long term manufacturer (say Goodyear or Gates, and they're NOT...Goodyear makes blue silicone hose for Ford and GM police/severe service vehicles but damnsurenotVOLVO) simply won't last. Even the OEM Volvo hoses are only good for 5-8 years depending on how much oil and crud drop on them and how hot it is where you live.

Best of luck. Save that 945turbo!!!. I'm looking for a good low mileage 940 or 945 turbo...a 92 940T sedan is up for sale here in MD for $4K....I'm considering buying it.
