[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1462115, member: 19880"] I would! I haven't encountered corrosion either. I sold my '07 with 295,000 km and currently have 160,000 km on my 2011 and never had to do anything with a waterpump on either (other than tighten up a hose clamp a quarter turn after I noticed a very slow leak). Never even had to replace a seal. I did have the radiator repaired on the '07 at one point and I had to replace the plastic overflow tank which became very brittle and cracked at something around 200,000 km. No apparent corrosion or encrustation in the waterpump, inside the radiator, around the cover or thermostat. (I think the radiator leak was due to a manufacturing flaw) Be sure to replace the two o-rings on the coolant pipe when you do your valve check. They WILL leak if you re-use them. Check the plastic overflow tank for brittleness. [/QUOTE]
