LOL ..well, to no suprise it seems like most 2.1L failures are between
150-200k mi. (some more, some less)  the failures for the 1.9L are averaged
after 200k mi..results are still coming in.. i guess its hard to make
generalizations, as some people have driven their vans easy, and have been
methodical with their maintenance, while other vans have been used rather
hard..   tho things like running the proper coolant has nothing to do with
the rod failures..
everyone, keep up your input, this is benefitial to all..
