Coolant hoses
I have a puddle of coolant on the floor. When I had my car in for motor mounts the mechanic said it looked like I had a coolant hose leaking near the radiator. How difficult and involved a job is it to replace the hoses on this car?

With the air box and fans out; piece of cake. First, make sure all hose clamps are tight. I found my leak was simply a clamp which had worked loose a little. It was the one right above the fan temp sensor.

Boeing - you are correct on the age thing although you don't see a lot of postings about hoses failing on our old cars. And don't get fixated on the radiator hoses alone and forget that a 968 has a total of 8 coolant hoses. Porsche is also a bit proud of some of them...
