He keeps telling me they change the pumps all the time, but they haven't had one yet that went before 80,000 miles. If he's turned down my money twice, I'd say it's a good sign not to bother touching your pump until after 80,000. If you watch Justin Buice (sp?) on youtube, he provided some info about the Carly monitoring app. Apparently you can monitor the performance of the pump and keep mental notes if the performance changes. I am still on the fence about getting the dongle and app, they're not cheap, but they do offer a lot of information for the money.

I just had my SECOND water pump replaced and I'm just under 79,000 miles. First one went out at 55,000 miles. Anyone know why the water pumps seem to be so fragile?
