Water pump had been leaking from around mounting surfaces for a long time and kept leaking worse as time went on. Replaced water pump and gaskets with new replacements. Also the drivers side tank of the radiator was cracked and leaking. (Don't you just love that plastic junk?) I took the radiator to a repair shop and they installed a new tank to replace the cracked one. They also rodded out the radiator and I re-installed it and have had no leaks or problems since. Replaced the belt tensioner as it's bearings were noisy. Replaced the surpentine belt idler as it's bearings were noisy. The driver's side reservoir of the radiator (which is made of plastic) developed a small crack and was leakin. A local radiator repair shop removed the old reservoir and installed a new one and rodded it out too for $85. & 1 year warranty. |
