Q: Hello Gregorz, I use a 2008 suzuki reno that has been giving me so much problems.
Hello Gregorz, I use a 2008 suzuki reno that has been giving me so much problems. My mechanic just told me that I will need to have all my coolant hoses replaced except the upper radiator hose. Is this possible? How many different hoses make up a 2008 suzuki reno? What are they? I am a student currently on clinical rotations and severely cash strapped. I need my car and have been renting for the past few days which is draining me further. I want to make sure he is not taking advantage of me. Please help. Thank you.
