"DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WATER PUMP FREE OF CHARGE" (on turbo models)
nice that they'll replace a wear & tear item that costs hundreds to replace when it normally goes out. |
|
Hmm, no 2012...
|
is the date of manufactur on the car somewhere?
|
I am just wondering how the new pump is replaced? Does it require taking off the whole front section of the car (bumper, radiator, intercooler, etc) or by taking off turbo from the top?
Anyone? |

Kind of a drag they won't work on it until I actually get the letter.
|
Wow, looks like I get another free dealership carwash! I was just there last week for warranty replacement of fuel pump and carbon cleaning at 21K. Just put in a catch can this morning. These motors aren't maintenance free are they?
