The wrong coolent?? Posted by JustinHiFi [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: I just had engine replaced, now my RPM's do not fall..., Evan, Mon, 21 Jan 2002 16:06:22 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Not to go off on a tangent, but just because you pour the wrong coolent into an engine, does not mean that it is toast unless it overheats and blows a piston (but most likely the head which is very fixable).
Was there any other problems associated with the wrong coolent? And in my opinion, If your mechanic was the one who put the coolent in and said oops, you need a new motor, I would for sure not have him even as so much as wash my windows at a full service pump.
130k is NOTHING on a Saab engine. Definitely getting up there for an original auto tranny, but for a engine, Hell no, unless there was dearly something very astray.
