Ratz, I think you're overreacting to the problem. As far as I remember on this forum, there hasn't been a case of sudden overheat or engine failure resulting from the water pump issue. It is merely the seal that starts leaking, causing a depletion of fluid and a messy clean-up. A new pump and seal is <$100, and a nice DIY.
Another common thing to fail is a small alternator control circuit, CTScott has more on that. |
