Coolant hoses

[Don Bradner]

Too many anecdotal examples of engine damage from explosive coolant loss to
accept that. Whether it is due to the coolant-low sensor not working (I don't
know if mine works, do you?) or just not responding fast enough is impossible to
say. The compressor hoses have been implicated in more than a few.

I considered the hoses a critical preventive maintenance item, and had mine
replaced last year. The old ones were like glass - shatter on impact, snap on
bend. I may lose my engine to something else, but it won't be that one!
