Not happy

[Maccas]

hey peoples just going to have a bit of a rant, drove to work today and once i parked i noticed a small trickle of fluid coming from the ute, after a quick look found it was radiator fluid, at first cause it was dark i could properly diagnose it but had a quick look when i got out of work this arvo i had a better look it looks to be coming from the engine area, then looked a bit mroe to find it looks like the water pump, not happy:flipoff:. limped the old girl home and once i pulled up in the drive it started gushing fluid, so off to the shop again tomoz and more dollars, gotta love cars

cheers maccas

Sorry to hear mate, at least its nothing to serious.

[townsville_sv6]

thats unlucky mate... you might have to sweet talk your mechanic into giving you a good deal on a new one

Make sure there's not a fault somewhere else in the cooling system that's stuffed your pump. Hope it's back on the road soon.

This sucks for sure the same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago.

[zorro]

every Holden I have owned has done a water pump or a rad, its one of those things. chin up mate, give you an excuse to have some beers and work on the car

Hope it didn't cause any damage, was it the gasket?

[ls1harry]

At least you weren't driving and it let go and its not too hard to fix .

water pumps are pretty common to let go, i had a vs maloo till recently and the pump on it let go just before i sold it

Just your car's way of keeping you on your toes... If things didn't go wrong with cars then you'd get bored.

Plus now you have something to discuss at the pub with mates... lol

few year back around Christmas time our VT commodore needed the air con, radiator and altenator all replaced within a few weeks of each other. Drove the wife crazy has she had to hang around in town each day waiting for the car to be repaired ( by the way I think it's had about 4 or 5 alternators put in so far, some under replacement warranty)

[dunny15]

if i was you i would replace all the hoses etc at same time

the beauty of automotive engineering, cars are designed to fail
