Water pump!

About a month ago the radiator reservoir light came on and I refilled it. Two weeks later it came on again and I checked the garage floor and found a wet spot under the car. I told the wife to take it to the dealer since it is still under warranty. They said they pressure tested it and there was no leakage. I asked if they ran it and they said no. They left the pressure test on over night and lost a little pressure. They finally ran it and found damp spots around the water pump and are going to replace it. Then they said they would replace the thermostat for only $40. Then they wanted to flush the radiator for only $130. I passed on the flush and just told them to put in a new thermostat. Everything else is covered. The extended warranty has now paid for itself.

you are definitely leading the way on high mileage and quailty in the sol family...water pumps are a finicky thing....they can last forever or go out at low mileage.....since it was covered under extended warranty all good.......keep on driving...

The surgery went good and the "Red Head" now has a new water pump. I will be keeping an eye on the reservoir for a while just to make sure it is all tight. She was driving my car yesterday and got spotted by someone on the Charger forum in Port Charlotte. I called her and told her I knew where she was and that freaked her out.
