Dear all,
Honestly u might all have noticed that I have been posting a lot than before eventho I have owned my Black Exige S for several years now hehe
I have accumulated a number of mods and maintenance issues to do all together, now...the most serious is my Water Pump Failure.
A year ago my mechanic and I noticed dried white coolant stains below the pump along the side of the engine. Only a few drops of stains,,as I have always noticed coolant level dropping the bottle; now last week, when do I my servicing...this time we noticed actual red/orange dried spots (color of the toyota coolant) along side the engine below the water pump..sort of like dried blood, very visible this time. Now all you big brothers here...what to do!!?!!!!!!
Some say its not gonna bust becox the pressure found a way to leak/seep...anyhow, I need to get this fixed sooner or later..
Monkey wrench has some sort or aftermarket pump along with two other pullies to order...I suppose I dun wanna risk buying another OEM pump since its failing on me already.... Any racing or performance alternative????
The saddest part is that I called up deroure UK, they told me that I will need to set the engine down as its too tight in there for any hand to get into through the rear right wheel well....eliseparts also has one,, slightly different than the one monkey wrench is offering but a bit more expensive, I asked eliseparts if its OEM, they said no, it's aftermarket and its reliable for Toyota..but no brand...which is fine,,,I asked is it better, they can't really say......I mean I dun care what it is but I just wanna be very very sure I wanna get the best one so I dun need to fix it again
What u guys think..??? I add like 500ml of distilled water in the coolant bottle now once every month...crying!!! :facepalm
