DIY: Radiator Hose Replacement

1325 · 07-26-2013, 02:26 PM

Ah! I stand corrected and see what you mean now. Regardless, you'll need to tale the cap off closest to the engine with due care (use a rag to prevent scathing). You'll want to take the reservoir cap off too to drain the old coolant that's pooled in there. At least on the 2010 model year, only two 10mm bolts hold it in place, and you can tilt the tank to dump the fluid.

Start the car and let it run. Keep an eye on the coolant in the filler neck. Once the thermostat opens you should see a change in the coolant level.

Will my NA Z see a benefit from these hoses?

Nope, although silicone will last a lot longer than rubber. And you want to buy them from Z1 or Samco. Mishimoto is the lowest level of Chinese garbage you can put on your car.
