Propylene Glycol and leaks?Also water pump change ? on V90 900

posted by  someone claiming to be sredwine on  Sat Jan 8 08:20 CST 2005 [RELATED]

My 94 940T and '98 V90 have both developed coolant leaks from their water pumps recently.The 940T had 55K on a cheap (GMB?) pump;the V90 had 88K on its original pump.The only thing in common is that both cars have had at least a little low-toxicity propylene glycol based coolant added over the past six months.The V90 WAS involved in a pretty rough curb impact in late November,right before the leak started.Got the factory (marked Aisin)pump based on the Board's advice.Any opinions about this coolant out there?Also,can anyone post the water pump change procedure for the V90?I've already got the timing belt removal info (and have done it).Looks straightforward,just wanted to know of any "gotchas".
Thanks,Brickboarders! Sredwine 940 has 155K
