Sorry it's not a Yaris, but I noted a post about Yaris waterpumps failing prematurely and was wondering if this looks like another case of a short lived OEM Toyota part. Car was built in Canada. Original antifreeze. It's my 72YO Mom's car, she does'nt drive it much as you can see......:redface:

My Dad had bought the 7/75,000 extended warr from the dealer. Will this job be covered?

I'm going to tell him to take it in then. The antifreeze level is low and I'm hoping they won't try to dismiss it or shrug it off as "normal". Don't want to wait till she totally blows...
Thanks for the info, BTW.

LL coolant= dead waterpump. Happened to my wifes 05 rav4 too. We traded it. YOU bought it.

YOU bought it.

Sure did and it would be plumb stupid to trade in a 2006 with 16k over an easily replaced part.
Now let's not dismiss the whole car over one premature failure....:iono:
