very informative thank you. the coolant hoses are as old as the car. and seem to be cracking one by one.. I replaced one just last week and now I need to do another so I figured I would knock them out all at the same time. I did a search for 7mgte Coolant hose kit and that's what popped up. one of the blue hoses in the picture is the one that I needed to replace. But thank you for taking a look. I guess I need to replace them one by one. to bad

and yes I would not mind replacing my vac hoses also.
