Will look out for it then when I do my next coolant change. Current pump is starting to squeak a little, so when that gets closer to going, I'll replace it with a recon or new one, give the coolant a flush and replace, and try to find the lube/conditioner. The lube/coolant for the miller makes sense, as it stops the bit/milling head overheating and burning out because it cools and lubricates the workpiece as it works. One thing I liked about the older Skoda alloy 4cylinders (especially the very older ones from the 50/60's upto arround mid to late '80's was the little screw cap on the water pump body, once a year, you unscrew it, pack the cap with grease, and screw it back on. Made sure that the pump was properly lubed in the low performance use the engines generally had. Biggest failure on those engines was people not running proper coolant mixes, and then getting either water way corrosion, blow head gaskets, or in extreme cases the impellers on the water pumps actually corroding away completley even though the greased pump working were spinning perfectly. Things like that, and adjustable slave clutch cylinders to allow for a little wear in the clutch plate are things that not a lot of people know about when they laugh at the older former soviet block Skodas (not the new VW based ones that are starting to get marketted arround the world now). -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
