Coolant hoses replacement

While the mechanic was replacing intake manifold, he asked if I want to replace coolant hoses of the engine cooling system. He said that it was easier to do so with the leaking manifold taken off.  Why not, I don’t want how long the existing hoses have served the car, likely from the day 1. Therefore, I gave him the green light.  At the time, I knew the new hose is the silicone ones but didn’t pay much attention to what exactly it is.

Finally, what a surprise when I saw it!

Be frank, I would have prefered black to blue if I had had choices.  Anyway, blue is really eye catching, so I don’t mind and still feel excited.

Googled a bit, oh, SAMCO is a famous British brand.  Additional research revealed that many Alfisti in Taiwan use silicone coolant hoses that are tailor-made by local factories. Recently I also found similar products produced locally in Hong Kong. So likely you may find your local suppliers without much difficulty.

Advantages of using Silicone coolant hoses(From what I heard):

  • More durable – only time will tell but I hope so
  • Heart isolation –> coolant entering the engine  -> fewer chances of overheat. I’ve doubt but no harm, I hope so again
