I've seen some water pumps failed in a matter of 4 months ( OEM pump on a camry 2001 ) and some engine badly corroded for something as simple as topping off your coolant with the wrong stuff,.
I know a lot of you already know this, but for those who don't and a reminder for the ones who have forgotten. READ ! --------------------  |
