i've been looking for my first car; have found an old automatic beetle- hope to use it for several road trips. had an inspection yesterday, all was well except for: cv boot split & engine coolant tube flattened/mangled. tube has since been fixed/replaced, though i hear that 'as the system was exposed, it may have already caused engine problems which will only show after a long trip' (since has only been used as occasional daily run-around). how do i get around this? also, is the cv boot split of concern?
yes yes, cooling.
