The picture says all!

This is the 3rd place I have to do something to avoid hose from being scratched by metal, on this car!

Luckily it hasn’t started leaking yet!

The other two hoses are:
1, the 4mm vacuum hoses in the engine compartment, scratching against HVAC aluminum pipes;

2, around HVAC heater valve, rubber hoses scratches against a steel clamp.

Any other places I missed? Thanks!

I also try to insulate hoses and spark plug wires whenever I see them rubbing. The rubbing may or may not cause problems in the future but it's better safe than sorry.
