Water Pump gave up on me finally

[Vioz]

I read it tons of posts about everyones water pumps going on them and felt like it was going to happen to me any day. Well it did, was driving and I hit a red light and notice my check engine went on, over heating engine light went on, and all these lights as well. Figured car was over heating was able to make it to my girlfriends house and I open up the hood and hear liquid boiling and notice a little bit a smoke from the antifreeze all over the engine bay.

I was able to wiggle the water pump pulley back and forth :( with one finger. So I'm replacing the water pump fully. I have to say I had the NST lightweight pulley on there for the longest time till I had to replace it and I had no problems with that. Right when I put the OEM pulley back on couple thousand miles later it gave up. I might just go back to lightweight deffinatley!
