Who changed the water manifold and did they bleed the system?
Did they check for oil in the coolant?

Get a hydrocarbon check done on the coolant header tank. That will confirm that you have blown your head gaskets, or worse, cracked the heads or the cylinder block.

Regular Oil change & What Oil

Guess some of these failures could be down to how well the car is cared for, I think regular oil and filter changes are a prerequisite, also only use genuine filters, not some Chinese copy from the local parts store.
