Coolant Hoses

[05Saab]

I had a leak in one of my coolant hoses. I ordered a new set of hoses, but realized I have no clue how to flush the system to install all the hoses (the one that is cracked can be replaced without issue)

Should I cancel my order, or keep the rest of the hoses "incase" and replace them later?

They weren't cheap (Samco Hoses) and the hose that needs to be fixed, I ended up finding for $20.

So, for a 13 year old car, should i just keep them and replace them all?

Since it's that old of a car I'd just inspect the other hoses if they look warn and cracked replace them. See if the other hoses are available at the place you found the cheaper hose.

But for 20 bucks I'd cancel the order and use the hose you found. No sense in spending a ton of money on a 13 year old car.

If your not gonna replace them all at once return them.

Well they can't even get them in and delivered for 6-7 weeks. Order was cancelled, and I'll be going the cheap OEM route. And ordering just what I need for now.

Damn straight!! you gotta wait until it's at LEAST 20 years old before putting cash into it.
