overheating 164Q etc.

[Jack Doskow <doskow@domain.elided>]

Hi!
    -a radiator for 164 is < 300$ & quite easy to install, though
     that still probably means 600$ for the part and 200$ labor in
     a shop.
    -i recently got the timing belt & acc. belt done, done by a shop
     with the tools & skills to do it, by the time it was complete,
     including bearings, tensioner, water pump it was well over $1600.
     & this is supposed to be done every 30000mi. or so.
    -if that's not enough bad news, check out what exhaust parts cost,
     if you can't hear every miniscule engine sound then your exhaust
     system is either worn out, or non standard (and probably worn out
     too).

  sorry!
