how often should you change your car hoses or when do you change them I had my car for about 6yrs runs great including in and out of town driving. (141k miles 95 ford escort LX 1.9)
I take care of my car by doing prevenative maintenance.
right now I'm about to change the timing belt and water pump its been about 4yrs for the belt/and water pump so I'm thinking about replacing all the hose while I'm under the hood.
and soon I think about replacing the fuel pump this summer, Its been on my car ever since i had it I think that need to be replaced too before it cause me trouble even tho it seems fine.
or how often should you change a fuel pump anyway?When to change all the car hose?
Anything rubber should be replace when it becomes more brittle than flexible. (or earlier if it is unusable for other reasons) For hoses, this typically means that when the start to show fine spider-cracking on the surface... (that way it doesn't develop into coarse fail-cracking)
Fuel pumps ought to be changed only when they die. Most after-market fuel pumps are of such poor quality that you're better off with your original old pump until it's dead.When to change all the car hose?
If they appear cracked or worn replaceWhen to change all the car hose?
hoses should be changed if they show cracks or if they become soft to the touch like a ballon that kind of soft........fuel pumps on ford escort do not usually go bad, i've checked with ford and they tell me that they rarely go,i had an escort with 300000ks with the original pump and it never missed a beat
