    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.
