I'm sure I could probably use new intercooler hoses at 198K - they've got a thin film of oil inside that I'm sure makes them a little squishy, but I've never changed them. One other thing - the URO hoses are terrible quality. I'll offer up the suggestion to the FCP representative on the site here (using the OEM Volvo hoses) and see if he can get anything done with it. I'd like to ask FCP Groton to put together a kit for the hoses at the rear - they seem to be dropping like flies lately at Volvospeed - but all I can find there is URO hoses (and I'm not sure if the inlet port on the 16G on the 1999 models is different or not). Unless you have to change a heater core, I'd leave those ones alone. I just went to our dealer and told them what I needed, pointed them out on a diagram they pulled up (better than this one), and they had to order them.įor the most part, the heater core hoses seem pretty solidly built and reinforced to me from when I played around with one, and in my time here, I haven't heard of too many people having those burst like I have had happen on other cars. It could be because I'm brain-dead from working on a terrible project I hate, but I sure don't see them in this diagram. I'm staring at VADIS, and can't find the actual part numbers for the hoses that run at the back of the engine to the turbocharger. 1999 models also have hoses in the back there that branch off to the oil cooler which exchanges heat between the oil and coolant. Two radiator hoses, and then the two expansion tank hoses. There are three for the 1998 and older models back by the turbo.
