Comments: To: Steve@Schwenk-Law.com

Hi,

A rebuilt my 2.1 @ about 120 000Km and soon after that my coolant hoses
started to fail.
The following hoses burst over a period of about 6 weeks.

The short hose in the vacinity of the dipstick.
The two hoses near the oil filer. These where the worst to replace.

I think that was all as this was about 5 years ago....Nothing else
since then - touch wood....

Cheers
