Would you replace the heater hoses?

Well my overflow tank finally started leaking to the extent that I do not feel comfortable driving the car fearing a catastrophic failure thus risking overheating.

I have a BMW replacement tank that I purchased earlier in anticipation of this job but watching a YouTube video one video suggested you replace top and bottom radiator hoses, water pump, thermostat/housing and the low coolant level sensor.

I purchased those items and was reading up on the job and this article suggested replacing the heater hoses as well.

Agree, disagree any other suggested parts to replace?

I did replace the belts less than a year ago so those should be Okay.

Thanks,
 
All the rubber items are on the same conveyor belt regarding their lifespan, I’d be tempted to renew the lot for peace of mind. You know which ones will let you down otherwise!

Good point, why do it half way?

Thanks
