I have about 68k miles on my Carrera. I did the 60k service myself and typically do all the required services myself BUT I don't think I can do the coolant hoses if I have to purge and pressure test the system.

AFAIK the coolant hoses are original and upon visual inspection they look okay but 5 years and 68k miles.... I would think it's time to replace them.

Has anyone done this themselves? Does anyone know just how many coolant hoses there are that need replacing? I know the ones coming from the front to the rear are hard lines so I can't see but a few rubber hoses that need replacing.

Also, howl ong can I expect the OEM bushings to last? If I upgrade to a different suspension I may just swap everything out... it's jsut a thought at this point.

TIA!

 

Change the hose clamps to the screw type clamps in lieu of the spring type. I had a couple of drips caused by the spring clamps. Porsche issued a TSB on this according to my mechanic.
