speculaas Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Will be doing drain and fill of my coolant next week and thinking with 135,000 miles on my 2015 Legacy Premium, I should have the heater hoses replaced at the same time. Local Subaru parts guy says he shows 2 heater hoses, but O'Reilly Auto shows 4 different hoses for the heater. I'm wondering how many heater hoses does this Legacy actually have and is it a good idea to replace original hoses at this mileage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAMCO Sport has Silicone Hose kit for a 3.6r I had them make it for me and now they sell 3 Radiator Hoses and the Heater Hoses.

ammcinnis Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) ... is it a good idea to replace original hoses at this mileage? Coolant hoses deteriorate primarily based on calendar age rather than mileage. I recommend inspecting the hoses and replacing them only if there are cracks or other external signs of aging. On the other hand, any time you disconnect a hose is occasion for careful inspection and possible replacement. In my experience, disconnecting a hose with no end fitting almost always involves some risk of damage.

Grnlantern1 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 My Legacy is a 2.5.I haven't really researched but I'm pretty sure Samco or other Brand Silicone gises from a WRX might fit the 2 5.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
