Change hoses when changing radiator? or not?

i changed my radiatore at 95,000 miles





however i never changed my hoses attached





mechanic said there still good


so still change or no??|||Give them a visual inspection. look for any splitting or cracking. See if there is any streaking or glazing. Glazing is when the hose appears shiny. Squeeze the hose to see if it is flex-able. A good hose should not give easily. If any of these is apparent replace them. If the mechanic says they are still good they probably are. There is nothing to say how long a hose lasts. Some go bad, some last longer than the vehicle. If you want to spend the money, replace them. If not and they are fine, don%26#039;t.|||They are probably fine.|||If it were my car, I would change the hoses.|||They deteriorate from the inside out. If they%26#039;re over six years old I%26#039;d change them.|||change them. Its better for the car and they are not expensive. The mechanic can use the %26quot;still good%26quot; rejects to patch up some body elses damaged hose connection.


Yes they are %26quot;still good%26quot; but if you asked, then you can afford to replace something inexpensive and you want a thorough/complete job after buying the expensive radiator.





Whats his problem.
