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!).
