why does one seller list the cr-v mk2 as 2003 to 2007? i thought mk2 was 2001-2006?


yet the listing i bought from lists mk3 as 2007-2011, do mk2 and mk3 share the same k series and radiator hoses?

longevity, my hoses are not looking so good after 18 years. Silicone lasts a long time, my dad has Silicone air hoses well older than me, i think coming on 40 years old, he bought them used when he was younger. I want the car to fall apart around the hoses. also these come as a kit so by the time i replace all of these hoses one at time you'd think the price would add up.


also for cars where i can't get silicone do you like certain brands from napa? it's getting hard to find good parts anymore.

Normally for each car i got all aluminum rad, silicone hoses and an Odyssey/Optima AGM and maybe some upgraded or added grounds, and snow tires. and quality synthetic oil.

the ASI kit is completely wrong. it has 1 short and 1 long radiator hose and the rest of the pieces look like generics from other kits. the 2007 2.4L CR-V has 2 long radiator hoses. The more expensive kit looks a bit closer but, i'll have to study the bends in the factory hoses some more to judge by eye.

OKAY!!! any listing with a 2007 CR V is a false listing, a 2007 has long hoses!

and here is the incorrect trash that they are selling

and if that doesn't convince you look at all the vehicles it fits.

might come in handy for something though! i bet with enough of these kits you could get some PCV hoses and vacuum hoses converted to silicon on some vehicles. might also fit my japense tractors
