How long did the cooling system last before it failed on you? |

QUOTE(markblurberry @ Jan 26 2021, 09:46 PM) I bought it 2nd, never occurred to me it failed within 1st year..change radiator and hoses, then 2nd time struck in 2nd year - this time thermostat and subsequently other things crept up..but still it's a good 5 years ownership, think I spent around 15k+ on repair not inclusive of servicing. Thanks for sharing. Just got 1 several months ago and did some refreshes. Wanted to do a full cooling system refresh but my mechanic said the expansion tank seems new and the hoses are still pretty decent so I should wait to save money lol. Sometimes I do worry as the cooling system and the fuel pump are the biggest suspects in leaving us stranded. Glad to know your overall ownership was deemed as good haha. |
