[200q20v] Hose job for 3B?

[Peter Schulz]

Bernie:

And Phil Payne had the often missed water coolant hose to turbo fail on the 
Autobahn when he was traveling at over 150 kph....
cost him a new head on his 10v MC engine.

I do believe that hoses are long term wear items, and if I'm going to go 
through the trouble to pull and examine all the hose ends, I'm going to 
replace them.

I definitely don't have the time to check them all every 3-4 months.

not to mention what happens when the after-run coolant pump and related 
hoses fail.

How much money is your free time worth? ;^)
