I need to replace hose 15 but I'm wondering if that same hose replaces #18 and #5. They appear to be the same size, though just from eyeballing it.
I haven't been able to identify the particular hose though other than it might be (MD112349).

They are the same size.

Thanks! I found my car leaking this weekend and when investigating, I found one good hose, one that was cracked and one that is squishy and about ready to fall apart....time to go through all of the other hoses and get them replaced if needed. :/

They’re the same diameter but different molded shapes. Refer to here for part numbers for all coolant lines: 2G coolant hose near alternator.

I reccomend replacing all of the hoses now. They are all the same age and have had all the same wear. They are all compromised

You can get a hose kit on ebay in any color you want. I used a black kit on my 96. Gst to look original, and a blue kit on my 99 to look custom. They are a great fit and what i would consider an upgrade

Just note that many, but not all, of the cheaper coolant hoses can actually sweat coolant right through the hose. You'll see it when the hoses start getting sticky. IF it happens at all.

I'll take a look at these. Might as well get a full kit, right....

When clamped correctly i have never experienced any problems in the 8 cars I have used them on.

I ordered a gplus kit based on that thread. That specific brand also had good reviews on other forums.

I haven’t installed it or run the car yet tho.

I have used them in every one of my cars since 2015

that's why I said IF it happens. Sweating through the hose has nothing to do with a clamp.
Climate can also play a role. OP is in Cali, maybe will never experience it.
A generic hose I bought from the auto parts store sweat even from sitting motionless all winter, making itself and everything nearby sticky.

Glad to hear another win from the brandless eBay/amazon parts, though. Generally the first thing people are told around here is to stay away from parts sourced from either

You can go to the dealer for the factory ones if you want, the more important factor is replacing wear items that can cause catastrophic failure if they leak split or fail.

For me it was always heater hoses that would fail on my hondas. One would get a slit in it behind the intake manifold that would only leak at max pressure when i was driving on the road, and leave no traces of leaks. Hell on one of my dsms in the past, I went to install the hose kit and found that the coolant hoses connected to the throttle body didnt have any clamps on them at all from the previous owner having a the cylinder head replaced

Its easier to get the complete kit with custom bent hoses for me. They all have had great fitment. My only complaint is the price of silicon vacuum or boost line to match the hoses

The ones that split for me are the soft lines coming off the hard lines under the thermostat. They're sneaky. BF Goodrich be damned, they've still split.

Yep, got the gplus marked ones. Should arrive this next week.

Yep, those are the faily fail ones for me. Just going to change all the things since I'm in there...

Yeah, in Cali. We get all the joys of the dry heat which has it's own set of issues...
