Hot Under The Collar

...

THE radiator in my VS Commodore failed only 23,614km after being installed in 2008. I was told the failure was possibly a result of using incorrect coolant. Is it possible for a radiator to fail in such a short period of time?

IT COULD be caused by using the incorrect coolant, or it could be because of electrolysis that's occurring for some reason. Either way, it's not a normal situation.
