I just did a coolant change on mine but decided against replacing the thermostat and water pump... it was easy the only difficult part was actually finding the drain plug on the radiator. I used Zerex G-05 make sure they put in a 150,000 mile coolant and not cheap stuff because the green is not compatible with these but they'll try to put it in anyway. Mine just hit 155,000 miles this week.
Change or flush? If it hasnt been flushed before your radiator is probably full of crap by now....
It sounds like the right caliper isn't completely releasing. You could have a collapsed or partially collapsed inner flexible brake line in the right side. It might be beneficial to eventually change all of the flexible brake lines with the mileage that you have.Checked the brake rotor temps today first with an IR thermometer then my tongue ().
FL 160 FR 250
RL 210 RR 210
So I believe the front left caliper is not doing its job. Is this right and any suggestions for tests of just get a new one?
Thanks,

If you wind up changing the hoses it is recommended to flush the brake system and put in fresh fluid.Andy-
Thanks for that guidance. I will check the wheels tonight and see if the right front is sticking.
Best,
Stephan
