Flexible hoses transport vital fluids (fuel, coolant, oil, or air) between engine components while absorbing vibrations. Regular maintenance includes:Inspecting for cracks, bulges, or soft spots.Checking clamp security and connection leaks.Monitoring for hardening or degradation.
Replacing per manufacturer intervals (typically 5 years).Degraded hoses can cause fluid leaks, overheating, or fire risks. Proactive replacement prevents sudden failures and maintains system integrity.
