water pump went out AGAIN
so i was driving around the other day, and i noticed it was overheating, so i pulled over and found out there was no coolant in it at all, and wondered wtf was going on, i had just gotten back from my vacation and it was sitting for 3 weeks i have no idea how the hell it could have drained, but the first time it went out was when i took it in to get the recall done, becuase it started to leak coolant from the oil cooler line, but it ended up being the water pump, and it was only about 2 months ago, so i took it in today and they told me that it was the water pump again, and my car only has 12k miles on it....anybody know wtf is going on...thanks

i'm on my second pump as well. either the freeze plug or the water seal blow out from cylinder pressure getting by the headgasket while under boost. the best thing would be to resurface that head and throw some arp's in there since it overheated.

what a crock! Man thats a gay thing to have happen.... thats a serious issue that can put your motor up in lock if your paying attention to the temp gauge for a short period especially in warmer climate areas.
