Default Coolant leak equals lots of $$$$....
Brought car to dealer for coolant system presure test and I had a cracked radiator and water pump.(ouch)....Anyway while they are in there they are changing the water pump, radiator, timing belt and tenssioner, and the thermastat. the grand total is $1300.(ouch)
Oh and my car just hit 30,000 miles!
