Lesson learned there as well.


I can pull the panel and feel the water pump bearing and pulley tomorrow, but I don't think that's the problem.

If it is the impeller, then the only way to know is to pull it out and look at it.

I'm sure there are things I'm missing, but this is what I have learned so far.

Well this detail makes me feel better. I had wanted to ask who changed the tank HAHA.
I think you may want a new mechanic.

I'd REALLY be interested in a pic of the manifold from inside the engine compartment and the trunk......

I'm not too concerned about the water pump at this point. I believe the worst that could have happened to it would be whatever happened when the pulley grenaded that there might have been enough deflection in the shaft to allow the impeller blades to make contact with the block and may have been sanded down a bit.
