How long should a water pump & valley pan gaskets last?
I blew the upper radiator hose today (to my shock, according to fully documented dealer records from the previous owner, it was still the original hose at 183,500 miles!!!
) My first thought was to replace EVERYTHING as preventive mx--radiator (also probably on borrowed time since it's original), all hoses, thermostat, water pump, valley pan gaskets, etc. However, checking the records, I found that the X has had the following parts replaced "recently": new coolant expansion tank at 159k in 2009, new water pump/lower radiator hose at 109k in 2005 new valley pan gaskets in 2005 at 115k, also in 2005 I figure the expansion tank is good to go, but am torn on replacement of the water pump and valley pan--wiith "only" ~70k on those parts, should I worry about them failing in the next 2 years/30k miles? as of right now, I plan to replace: radiator thermostat all hoses--upper, lower, expansion tank, etc What would you do? Would you replace the water pump and valley pan gaskets, too, while everything is apart?
