Changing Radiator Hoses - DIY?
Any instructions online? I've done them before for previous cars and I looked today at the X5. I have 2 of them that need to be replaced? It looks like I have to remove a few things. Kind of tight.

How much were the parts? Where did you get them?

I am going to change mine just to be sure.

Really easy on the X5 as they are all held on with clips. One note of caution is the expansion pipe that runs to the expansion bottle. This pipe becomes vey brittle with the heat and cracks with ease.

I am interested in doing this also - I just rolled 98K and I know it is due for a swap out. Is there any type of parts list on this anywhere??
