I have a theory on how mine failed. My battery was getting low and I didn't bother replacing it so I don't know if that had anything to do with it. But anyways I had a little leak in my expansion tank that I didn't notice so I guess I was losing coolant when it would pressurize. I believe this resulted in the coolant thickening and this cause the water pump to work harder until it just couldn't pump anymore. So I paid like $1,500 to fix the water pump and expansion tank at an indy shop. I bought all my parts from FCP Euro which is an amazing site by the way. According to them I have a lifetime warranty so if the water pump ever fails again they just give me a new pump. Anyone have any experience with them?
