Water pump .....

[Perfectlap]

When it comes to water-cooling i.e. critical engine parts I leave it to the experts.
And most DIY's dont have airlift to vac fill. Air bubles can be stubborn. Many repeated cycles to make sure you're not baking up some hot pockets. At least invest in your own airlift.

After having placed my order in for a water pump and thermostat I am now thinking I should have ordered hoses as the associated ones would be 13 years old.

When any of you replaced or had replaced the water pump did you replace any hoses?
If so which ones?

Thanks, Guy.

I didn't replace any hoses.
Mine are still pliable & uncracked. They crushed flat very nicely under Airlift vacuum.
I check all of them annually anyway when the car goes in for winter hibernation.
