Just replace them now, radiator hoses are like $50 maximum. Towing your car is going to be a lot more than $50.
I would use OEM.
If you've never changed your coolant, definitely change it. It's designed for a maximum of 5 to 7 years.
change coolant 2 times already ok thx
what about those small transmission hose ? thats fine？ leave it？
what about those small transmission hose ?
I'm not familiar with the transmission cooler setup on that car but if you replace those hoses be sure to use new hose that meets the specification for transmission/hydraulic use.
That car has a CVT and it's a pretty complex setup as I understand it, so if there is no indication of hose deterioration it's probably best to leave it alone. Also, changing fluid on those CVTs is a complicated procedure and they are super-sensitive to fluid level. (You can find the procedure with an online search.)

I'm not sure about that one, since I've never changed a transmission hose. I would assume it would be similar. Set a clean catch can under the transmission hose and crack it loose. Drain it in a controlled manner, when it's done, take the old hose off, replace it with the new one. Measure what came out of the transmission, and store it. Then, drop the pan, replace the fluid and filter that way, plus the additional fluid that came out of the hose and you should be good.
thx
