Hello,

a few months ago, when I had gone to the dealer for some maitenance
they had recommended to change the hoses for my accord 2001 (60k
miles). at that time, they had suggested to get a hose kit that
contains 9 hoses or so.

Other than the 2 radiator hoses, where are the other 7 hoses located
and their function?

I believe most people recommend to just change the upper/lower
radiator hoses. Can someone list any other "critical" hoses that
should be changed ?

Thank you!

Depends on what the kit has in it.
Upper and lower radiator, heater hoses, water pump interconnects, power
steering hoses, vacuum hoses, emission hoses.

I can think of 15 under the hood of my Blazer. And those are the common
stuff.

For a 2001, I'd be replacing just the two rad hoses. They are the largest,
and are the ones that normally burst catastrophically.

The other hoses would be the heater hoses, and a whole bunch of skinny
little bypass hoses and such. Do you have a V6 or a 4?

And you should only be using genuine Honda blue coolant.

thank you. I have a v4 engine. So, besides the 2 radiator hoses, the
others not needed at this time.
The car is 8 1/2 yrs old and has 65k miles on it.

and why only honda coolant? anything wrong with other types?

Not in an Accord. Its got either an inline (I4) or a V6. V4 engines are
quite rare in automobiles (and in general, actually).
