El Cheapo or Budgetastic? Radiator hoses for a '90 740 Turbo

Mar 29, 2007 0 Replies

Thanks to all who responded to my earlier water pump queries.



So now I'm on the hook for a new expansion tank hose, since the one I have is cracked at the turbo connection. I found one made by Hutchinson on volvopartsdirect.com for $91.76. I also found one one made by APA on swedishpartswholesale.com for $21.95. Quite the discrepancy in price, I must say. Anybody have any experience with either brand? Anyone care to weigh in on the issue of whether I should be budget-conscious or pony up money for a hose that might be of better quality? Any and all advice is much appreciated.



Back to drinking to the success of my water pump install, whee.



Thanks all.
