Just a precaution. 135,000 kms - small plastic flange ch/to metal under power steering - large plastic coolant runnining length of van had cracked lip. Did not replace. Used longer hose. 140,000 kms Currently at 160,000 kms and will soon need to replace metal pipe running from right head to water pump. The one behind the pulleys.
