I finally got around to my waterpump, low temp thermostat and coolant service after 5 years of ownership . The pump which was original was absolutely perfect- spinning freely and all of the vanes were just like new. I should’ve taken a picture of the old and new side by side- they were hard to tell apart. Granted, my car has only 42,000 miles on it, but I can’t help but challenge the belief that the pump can time out before it miles out.

This is the first waterpump that I have ever changed - it was a fiddley but not particularly difficult job.
