2) What are the specs for the belt tensioner on the water pump? Would too loose or too tight cause premature failure?
BTW...looks as though the problem was a bearing failure in the pump. Thanks for all the input! |
Guys, I need your help!!!!
I just paid the dealer $1500 to replace the alternator, and within 2 days of having the car back, I find out my water pump main bearing has failed!! Dealer says this is unrelated and wants $1370 to replace!!!
What are the odds??? Could they have tightened the belts too much causing this failure?
Car is a 2004 with 110,000 miles
Any thoughts???? Please help guys - thank you
