more coolant issures
I'm in the phase where I am chasing coolant leaks one at a time. I changes the Turbo coolant hose last week, the heater core @ a year ago along with the tee that is related to the heater hoses and the coolant overflow tank ane hose. So yesterday I find that I've go a huge leak in the upper radiator hose. So my question is this, I will be changing the upper hose but should I change the other radiator hoses as well and what are the options in getting aftermarket hgher performance hoses? I remember blue silicone hoses on a S4 a few years ago at the second creek event. Thoughts?

I don't know of any aftermarket HP hoses
But it's really your choice if you want to do all of the them at once or replace the as nessary hoses.
I think blua sells all the hoses in a kick FYI other wise sourcing them will be a few 100 dollars.

The OEM hoses have lasted this long why is there a need for something better?
If you replace an OEM hose on a 13-16 year old car chances are you will not have to ever worry about that hose again for the life of the car.

the 034 complete hose kit is less $$$ than just a couple hoses from dealer, ie upper radiator hose
and two hoses to the heater core, thats roughly $200 for three hoses. why not use silicone?
