Agreed, maintenance is critical: Riddle me this, should we ever consider, at some point (time/mileage) consider replacing all wasserboxer coolant hoses. I understand that they are much higher quality than that of the American steel of late, and that all new hoses cost around $600 USD's. When one goes, should should the rest "go", that is get replaced? I have been researching/pondering this for some time and any experience/feedback appreciated. BTW: I have 2x $600 USD's potential jobs. Almost forgot, what of pressurized coolant tank, should it be expected to fail at a certain point. Please don't throw in heater cores, valves, radiators etc in this mix, that might blow -my- headgasket (my budget of course!). ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> Shalom Mark B.
