(I'm at 51,000 miles, but change the oil regularly and generally treat my car pretty well.) Anyway, in addition to the things that get done per the maintenance schedule at 45,000 miles, I am also getting the coolant flushed & filled. My question is thus: is there any chance that getting the coolant flushed & filled will hasten the demise of my water pump which, as far as I know, is still the original part? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Many thanks. 1998 E1 SVT - Toreador Red Production #4794 of 6535 Build date: 2/25/1998 Mods completed: - Pre '97 sail panels Mods planned: - K & N Air Filter - Side marker lights
