The problem here is that—presumably—the pump he installed is working just fine. Unless there was some sort of agreement that a specific type of water pump be used, I’m thinking this is gonna be a tough assignment.

Concepts like his not having used “the correct one” and the problem (if the mechanic is even willing to concede there is a problem) is “his fault” may not go over well. But I could be wrong, and I suppose it’s worth a try.

I’d say give it a shot. If that doesn’t work, at a minimum ask the guy what brand of pump he used, and what the typical lifespan of that replacement tends to be. Then make sure you at least replace it well before that time has run.
