Well my water pump started squealing so I called the dealership to make an appointment to get it checked out. They told me there is a two week waiting period. My warranty would have covered it minus a $100.00 deductible but I couldn't wait that long. I bought the water pump for $217.00 and did it myself. Not a hard job overall but those damn oem allen head bolts were a biatch. After strugling with removing the last two bolts I just chose to brake the old water pump off. I replaced the allen head bolts with grade 8 hex head bolts and every thing is else was a breeze. I heard that the dealership charges like $700 - $800 for this job it cost me $220.00 total not bad.:)
