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 .76. I also found one one made by APA on swedishpartswholesale.com for .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. A
