This seems like a good time to ask if recommended/regular coolant flushes
will prevent or delay this type of failure?
180k seems like a reasonable time to me for replacement. Lazy pig that I am,
over the years I've lost a radiator in a '79 Celica (110k), '90 Subaru
(100k), etc.
I'd guessed this was because I didn't have the system flushed per schedule.
What's a natural death and longevity for the newer radiators with perfect
service? ( a guesstimate is fine)
Just wondering....
