My .02.

I see lots of threads about PM replacement and early failures.

I replaced my WP at 124K miles as I had a coolant leak. While doing the job, I discovered one bolt that was weeping. I went ahead an replace the WP but mine had no wobble or noise and the veins were all intact.


If you're driving your car locally and have alternate transportation as an option, drive your car. I totally agree with pulling the belt and checking pullies for play but that's about it. If yoiu have a road trip planned, go ahead and to the swap.

Whatever happens, If you hear noise or have a leak, don't drive the car until you evaluate the state of the pump. It will eat the impeller if the bearing is bad enough!
