Water pump leaking!!!!!!!!!!!!

Took the car into the dealer for them to have a look at my sticky clutch pedal and it needs a Water pump along with the associated Timing belt and Tensioner. I had no idea that it was leaking (water level hardly dropped) but tech said it has been weeping for a while, done 16k miles now. Might be worth checking yours if your water level drops a touch .

Lucky as warranty runs out at the end of this month

And all replaced parts and labour are covered for a further year from the date they're done are they not?

Re: Water pump leaking!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, water pump sorted happy now. My dealer (Alan Gibson - Basingstoke)has told me that i do have an extra years warranty as it doesn't matter how many owners the vehicle has it is still only 2 years old (i am 2nd owner). I have had 2nd service done so that it all up together.
