My next preventative maintenance step is replacement of the coolant hoses in my 2010 R3. As usual the cost for these at the dealership is high.

I found an 11 hose kit from MazdaMart, but it lists for late 2004 to 2008. Spent some time searching - maybe not enough and expect a small roasting. I didn’t see the cooling system hoses listed as a change on ASH8’s excellent post regarding the difference between series nor on any other Series 2 technical forum posts.

Can anyone confirm whether the series 1 hoses are compatible with series 2 please?

So I asked Paul at MazMart if the series were compatible and guess what? There’s a difference. He recently added that hose package as an option. Now I’m waiting for the UPS truck.
