Water Pump Longetivity

How many of you guys have replaced your water pump? At how many miles?

It looks like I need to replace mine after 30K miles.

Thanks.

Mine went right around 60k. Of course it happened at night on the highway in the middle of nowhere.

Nice! I opted for no warranty so i will need to fork out the <$300.00 cost for this.

Wow! Is this an exception to the norm?

This is the main reasonwhy I started the thread -- to somewhat find out the life of the WP.

That's one of the earlier ones I've heard of, they usually seem to happen right around 60k. Cab83 if your thinking it about tackling it yourself we offer ether two different options. For more information Click Here.

My car is a daily driver so I quickly ordered the parts last night. Thanks.

I ordered the LASO model not to save money but to see if this lasts longer than the OEM with the fancy impeller.

Mine was replaced at 30k miles. The tech noticed some beginning signs of seepage and so we opted to replace it under cpo.

Not to hijack my own thread, but has anyone replaced the alternator at 60K? I should perhaps start a new thread, huh?

Replaced mine at 65.5 K. I had not noticed any issues with it. Drove the car to work on Friday. Parked it in the garage. A full 5-6 days later, it leaked on the garage floor. Still don't get what happened there. But replacing the WP fixed that issue.

As a side note, shortly after replacing my WP, my coolant reservoir developed a crack and would sporadically leak. I'm thinking that pulling the vacuum on the system to refill the coolant during the WP replacement likely stressed the old plastic of the reservoir and caused a crack to form. So, if you're replacing your WP around 60K miles, you might want to check the reservoir carefully after you refill the system.
