I would change the U-shaped hose that goes from the e-pump to the e-thermostat. Also all the (alu)bolts for the water pump need to be replaced.

You might also want to replace the upper and lower radiator hoses - IF - your car is over 90K or so. Feel the hoses... IF they are hard to the touch or have any signs of cracking... its time for replacing the hoses.
