Sounds like your new water pump could be bad. Just because the part is new, doesn't always mean it is a good part!
Or maybe the shop didn't bleed the cooling system properly. Can you read codes on your own? I would do that first. Often times the DME will throw a water pump code before the pump fails totally.
You could also bleed the cooling system by putting the key into the slot, hit the start button but don't start the car, just get the dash lights to come on. Then put your foot and HOLD it down on the gas pedal(without the engine running) to put the cooling system into the bleed down mode. This will run the water pump in cycles. Put the heat level on HIGH. This will bleed the cooling system after ten minutes.
Check your coolant expansion tank(only with a COLD engine) to also make sure you have enough coolant. Often times after a cooling system repair, the system will "burb" itself and be low.
