Sounds like unless the engine block cracks, it's not a serious problem in your book?

I wouldn't consider either a "major" problem. I knew the water pump would die and some day strand me on the side the road. I chose not to preventatively replace it and try to squeeze as much life out of it as possible (76K as it turns out).

OFHG is an annoyance, mine failed 3 times in 20K miles.

Still running with the stock charge pipe. I expect that to eventually fail, but that's an expected problem.

If you want to go to extremes. I suppose bulb out is a major issue to you.

Well, I jinxed myself. lol It looks like water got through a pinhole in the welding behind my tail light and fried my comfort access module. MaxCare apparently doesn’t cover water damage, so they’re not paying for it. My warranty already paid for itself, so it’s no biggie, but I thought I should mention it.
