Re: 84,000 waterpump shaft wobble
changed the waterpump at 84 thousand.... at that time I came on to this site and heard some people say they have gone a couple hundred thousand miles with these plastic components(other models) yet I hear too, that there is a greatpotential for a catastphic-breakdown by 150,000 miles...
my deduction is this..... maybe there can be a catastrophic-breakdown if the plastic components see high temperatures a lot... but in the 2 years I've had this coupe it runs always below the midrange temp. So I believe I haven't created any reason for this plastic to get that brittle(enough to make it crack) so I am just running it as is I am now up to 116,000..

Re: (above post) radiators for $250..... where???
Bavarian Auto has them for $250, there abouts. Also, Ireland Engineering has an all aluminum radiator for $300. does any one have any experience with this part?
I, myself, just bought a '00 MZ3 Coupe and I'm wondering if I should do the whole cooling system right now, since I have to drive it from Up-state NY to California next week. It has 77,000 miles and a cooling flush / refill at 60,000. Any input? (I'm going to re-post this at the top.)

Re:135,000 on rad. but replaced W.P at 84,000
did some research back some 3 years ago when I changed the waterpump online and somebody said they had at that time 184,000 on the radiator and they also said that its only when the radiator see's intensely high heat for long periods of time that you run into this catastrophic breakdown of the plastic(s)on these radiators ....
I don't know how much to trust in that logic but it does make sense to me.... and to date I am with the stock radiator...
