To add more fuel to the fire, I found a website which goes into quite alot of detail about metallurgy and the affect of phosphates on coolant systems. Apparently the owners of British cars have similar problems....It makes for interesting reading and confirms what most of what the list has been saying; flushing and changing the coolant is the best way to prevent corrosion. Anyway, the website is at www.team.net/sol/tech/coolant.html Enjoy! Scott and Patty '84 Westy
