Default Major props to "Team AW " who correctly diagnosed my coolant leak I described....

here last week. Most correctly pegged it as a leaking Aux. Water Pump. (2.7T motor).

Special Honors award goes to "JMacs 2.7T" who not only got the diagnosis right, but also was within $50 on the repair bill (total of $650.)

Thanks for the help, guys! Now my wife is starting to see SOME value to me hanging out with you all!

Dealer or independent?

Default Hi Sean-I don't have an indy lined up (yet...) so I took it to...

the dealer - I use Pass & Weisz in Burlington. I see you've sprung a leak too - at least your's can't be a turbo water pump, so hopefully it's way less $$!

Default I'm hoping...

...that my leak is nothing more than a loose clamp as a result of the water pump replacement 10k miles ago. I'll find out next Thursday, it's going into Shine Racing for a looksee.

What's the labor rate at P&W? It's got to be pretty high. I'm paying $70/hour at SRS.

Default They soaked me for $90 an hour. Hope you're right about the clamp. Also, I still...

want to check out your hitch set-up; maybe when the weather warms up a bit?

Default Sure

I actually need to be up your way in the near future to return a 10mm hex socket to a friend in Acton. I'll be sure to let you know when that happens.
