Unlucky mate, my water pump just had a leak until I replaced it

[lunjiaow]

You're LUCKY! i'd rather have the water pump blow rather than the idler pulley bolt snap off resulting in bent valves and maybe other damage......

Good luck with your repairs....

My water pump on my R33 was leaking just a few weeks ago, had Tenegah fix it, but it cost me a bunch of money that I was hoping to spend elsewhere.

You should try washing it in the rain!!!! Sounds silly but saves water and apparent stress

after my crash - i got the 32 fixed up alll right n tight, bar a few mis matched panels...

drove it to Kermits with PVC piping as the fmic pipe substitute (dont ask - we had no other way to get it there) and he welded the good stuff on

went to pick it up... and finally wanting to hit gate cuz i hadnt heard it in MONTHS and whaddayaknow...

100m down the road, the fan was on the piss and i didnt realize (drove fine off boost), but as soon as i opened him up, it ate through my power steering belt, my NEW radiator, destroyed the water pump itself, and pretty much confirmed that I needed to replace everything it touched...

had to get it towed home again and a few weeks later was fixed... a second time

Live and learn I guess. Coodoes to kermit for doing a bang up job though, much <3

*edit - got my water pump from nissan on canning hwy - only $120

Try getting caught in the rain while washing your car... Thats just embarrising!! Was nice and clean though... And I skipped the whole drying process

[Topaz]

I think washing your car and then leaving it on the lawn to get hit by The Dreaded Sprinklers is worse. Full wash cycle required immediately, because of water spots, with much swearing!

[TAKUSHI]

haha we hada landcruiser come into work that had the water pump seperate, fam was part of it to so yeah bye timin cover, fan shroud, radiator- them landy ones aint cheap i tell ya that

[RICCA]

My dad's 2000 Mazda Protege was making a weird noise, so we took it to the mechanics. Turned out that the main shaft in the water pump had moved slightly. Got that fixed, picked it up... and left with a job Still there actually. I love that car
