How does VZ fare in overall reliability?

Not at all:-

Yes at all.

I stated that there is a regular recurring theme of overheating/cooling system issues, and the number of threads seem to confirm this. Just count them yourself to be sure.

As for my engine - no-one could solve the overheating issues I had, even after a thermostat replacement, by a 'qualified' mechanic that I think you seem to imply that you might be. Another 'qualified' mechanic stated that my best option was to get a replacement engine. My engine original still operated, but would simply overheat. That was never solved.

As for 'qualified' advice from 'qualified' mechanics (that you imply you might be), I went with what happened to me personally, hence why I advised the OP accordingly. You can go on as much as you like, but I am only relating real life events as happened to me - not some pipe dream some folk seem to hang on to. BTW, I am not here to slag off at 'qualified' mechanics, as I'm sure there are good ones out there.

End of the day: 'Caveat Emptor'.

Yes at all.

so hows the new engine fairing?

 

[Sabbath']

Yes at all.

So you admit that you said those things after reading it back?

Hmmkay. So, you're the one trying to make the point that there are lots of threads with people having severe overheating issues.

To prove your point you need to:-

1) Find these threads, and count them
2) Go on every other forum and count the number of cooling system threads they have about their individual motors.

Once you have this information, maybe then your theory will be valid. Until then, it's just the rantings of somebody who thinks their experience is typical.

A sample size of 1 is ridiculous.

My quote was directed at the OP. Is your quote directed at me? If so, shucks, I didn't realise you cared so much.

Actually that is one thing we do agree on. LOL

I wonder if they did actually buy a VZ?
