I'm starting to like the way the colored hoses look in the engine bay and I was wondering if it was very difficult to replace all of these. I would buy the hoses but I'm worried that I might take off a hose that is not suppose to come off. How do you know which hoses come off? Can anybody post pics that show which hoses you have changed?
Thanks.

 

you can change your coolant/water system hoses without problems. You dont want to break into any A/C lines....

 

Be very careful to buy good quality vacuum hoses if you want to change those. If you buy the off brand stuff, they'll collapse within 2 months. Not good.

 

Does anybody have pictures of which hoses they changed? I have never touched anything in an engine before other than installing a CAI. I don't even know where the A/C lines are. I searched and people posted pics in the past but the links don't work anymore.

 

From your lack of mechanical experience, i would not recommend you bother changing your hoses. Its just not worth it. Your gonna have to service your cooling system after you break into it, etc....

If your looking for a cheap and easy way to dress up your engine compartment, buy some colored, corrugated wiring harness covering and put that over the factory black covering.

 

What year is your car????

 

I did the hoses on mine about a year ago, and no problems so far. Just go slow, and make sure they all go where they're supposed to! (That means one at a time!) I did the loom cover thingies too, but here's a pic.

 

Sorry, for a bigger one, check out this.
