This pair of silicone hoses replaces the coolant lines that run to the expansion tank on the 2.8 turbo V6 Saab 9-3. The rubber originals harden and crack with age and underhood heat, then start weeping coolant at the tank spigots and drop the system pressure the V6 needs to stay out of trouble. Both replacements are moulded in high quality silicone with three to five reinforcement layers, so they hold cooling system pressure and stay flexible. A matching clamp kit, clamp-kit242, is sold separately.
