thanks, mb doc.

probably melted the damn thing on the overheat....

Water pump sounds fine, but will replace

first repair issues with this car in 2 1/2 years and 30k miles. It's a shame my son didn't watch his gauge a little closer.

i have read and re-read the water pump replacement.

i think i will take out the radiator and fan just to have a lot of breathing room, move the steering pump to the side ...and pull out the tensioner..

wish i didn't have to mess with that tensioner.
