Hoses crack & go soft. Pipes corrode. Which do they mean? I would recommend going to Goodrich or Aeroquip for the flexi's. They are very good & will last forever. Not even that expensive. Shop around for the best price. Mine came from ebay about £50 the set. You will notice the difference.
The pipes are a bigger job. More labour than parts. No idea how bad to do on a 928.

Do you have the part numbers and prices? I don't mean to be rude by asking, however I'm always one step behind you with these jobs. Must be similar cars, similar age, and similar condition.
