Silicone hose for 850, V70, S70, C70. 94-2001 Group Buy

Does it have a non silicone liner? Silicone hose passes water vapor much easier than quality EPDM hose.
Start watching this video at the 5 minute mark for info.

I'd be happy to give an report on water lost on my own car with these silicone hose a year later, but availability of these silicone hose may not be there by then.

I just don't see a need for these when OEM hoses last a ridiculously long time. My original radiator hoses look and feel new still. The only hose that really degrades is the coolant elbow underneath our turbos, mainly because they get soaked with oil, soften, and burst. Replace it and you're usually good for another 150k...

I agree, stock last a long time. I bought a set of silicone hose for my own car for durability reason as they can withstand higher temperature. It's 120F here in the summer.

Guys, OP did not make it crystal clear but this info is there if you look carefully:

There are four hoses in the kit. Three are the same between NA and turbo, one (the lower radiator hose) is different.

Yes, you are correct. NA and turbo uses different lower hose. The 4 hose kit I am selling is only for turbo cars.

There are 4 hoses per one kit. The other 5 hoses are useless as they do not fit anything else on the car. I thought I did make it pretty clear by listing out part numbers and having the 4 set per kit in bold letter.


3 sets are reserved.

Yup.

This too.

Yes.

All is well as of today.

So, a bit late for me, but it sounds like I would have been there.
Have fun.

I did not want to start a new thead so I am writing here:

There is a molded silicone hose set I came across on ebay ... 30 bucks with shipping...item number 261522359614... Who wants to be the guinea pig?

The listing is hard to find because of the title being off: he wrote "850t5r s70t5 v70t5 96-04 silicone radiator water coolant hose rd" as the auction title, no wonder I have never seen them before.

Anyway, I would try them out but I just ordered a new set of hoses from FCP when my radiator went out this weekend. But, I would be interested to see if anyone had experience with this cheapo silicone hose set.
