4 and a half year old isn't that fresh

but was in a plastic wrap and stored in a dark and cool shelf. 😄

Aside from jokes i had no other option because VIKA was immediately available, i wish i could buy from another brand but i can not find in the market hoses with that ''end'' to the thermostat.

I have seen quality (often made in Italy) aftermarket hoses for example:

but...

As for the silicone hoses i have the same ''issue'' plus a hesitation.

After few kilometres in a small Mountain Road and in City Traffic: the front-end is a bit more tighter than before, no vibrations starting from traffic light in low rpm or going from 2nd to 1st (and accelerate) for example while braking due to a front car sudden deceleration.

results please

Been in that position with replacement old car parts many, many times, we don't buy these parts out of choice but because we are out of choices.

You are right, if i had time i could order from another brand as: LEMFÖRDER,SACHS,IMPERGOM,SKF etc and wait few days but the car was parked outside the repair-shop, the mechanic had time to fix it the same day so i agreed.

@Thefeliciahacker what you suggest?

Can i see your alignment result sheet?

I didn't took it, i mean i didn't asked for printing.

I have some of them from the past but never had to study them because i don't understand completely plus no one (mechanic) ever asked me to see the previous ones.
