Honda Car Forum

Hi all,
I have a '90 Accord LX. A couple weeks ago, one of the heater hoses went
finally after 15 years, and I had to get that replaced at a local shop. A
friend of mine said the other two should be replaced, and that he could do
it. Does anyone know what width and length heater hoses I need and what
width and length of radiator hose do I need? He told me I should replace
the radiator hoses too after 15 years and I couldn't argue with that.

Thanks,
Josh

just buy the exact matching parts from an auto parts store. you can't bend
radiator hoses to fit your car. as far as heater hose they have that there
to if theres no molded hose needed for it.

It's funny how most everything on this car seems to last for a long
time. I have a '91 DX with 102,000 miles still with all the original
hoses. I agree with Jeff's opinion. He's right on the money!
