More than 200,000" How about more than 300,000° Car owners have accomâ€" plished this, and here are their seâ€" crets An owner of a car with 240,000 miles on it says he washes it every day, waxes it once a week, changed vil every 1,000 to 2,000 miles at first, then switched to every 3,000 to 4,000 miles when the quality of oil imâ€" proved in the 1960s. He ,*ricated the chassis every 1,000 les. When the car reached Taking care of car hoses There are four or five coolingâ€" system hoses in a car. Two of them are radiator hoses: One delivers coolant to the engine, while the other transfers hot coolant from the engine to the radiator. The two hoses that transfer coolant to and from the heater are also part of the cooling system. In addition there may be a bypass hose from the water pump to the engine. Hoses are vital to engine operation. If a hose splits, allowâ€" ing coolant to be lost, you will be stranded, since an engine without coolant will quickly overheat and seize. For this reason, it is wise preventive maintenance to exâ€" amine hoses frequently. Some carmakers even recommend that all hoses be replaced every two years to avoid an emergency situation. Incidentally, it‘s a good idea to carry duct tape in the car for temporary repairs if a hose does split. Changing oil > Inspecting Hoses Examine hoses for cracks, softness and brittleness by squeezing each one firmly along its entire length. Hoses should be resilient and flexible. If cracks appear as you squeeze a hose, replace it. With the engine warmed up and running, check hoses for bulges. A buige signals that a hose is weak and likely to burst. Have someone in the car race the engine as you examine the lower radiator hose. If it flattens out, the spring inside the hose is weak. Replace the hose since coolant flow is being curtailed. A WATERLOO CHRONDCLE,WEDNES%Y, MAY 13, 1981 â€" PAGE 23 A Volkswagen owner credits not driving his car hard over its 10â€"year life and maintenance as needed for getting it to 308,000 miles. He changed the oil every 3,000 miles and, despite rust, never washed it A mechanic has more than 200,000 miles on his car and he says the only secret is frequent oil changes.

The 1957 Thunderâ€" bird had cost him $2,400 in 1959. adds collapsed lower radiator hose causes overheating during higher speed driving. â€" Replacing a hose Caution: When checking the lower radiator hose, keep hands away from fan, belts and pulley. Don‘t wear clothes that dangle. As you check each hose, examâ€" ine its clamps for coolant leakâ€" age. If a clamp is loose, tighten it; if distorted, replace it. > To avoid burning yourself, reâ€" place hoses with the engine cold. 1. Drain coolant to below the level of the hose that‘s being replaced. If coolant is to be reused, drain it into a clean container. To avoid losing any coolant, push a length of clean hose over the radiator petcock and place the other end in a conâ€" tainer. 5. Slip clamps onto the new hose and push the hose onto its connectors. If the ‘hose is tight and doesn‘t push home, soak it in hot water a while. 2. Open the hose clamps, or cut them off if they are going to be replaced. O 3. Pull the bad hose off its connectors by twisting and pullâ€" ing. If a hose is stuck, slit it with a utility knife first. 6. When the hose is seated, position clamps about %, inch ftom the ends of the hose and tighten the clamps. it run as you examine that system for leaks. 4. Clean metal connectors with a wire brush or emery cloth. 7. Pour coolant back into the radiator. Start the engine and let
