    I'm truly amazed your dealer ate the labor on the water pump, since it was you who installed it. I'd have figured they would have handed you a new pump when you handed over the old DOA one. Me thinks you were very lucky.

    Well my dealer did the same thing for a Tensioner paid "full price" - my discount :ihih: at the dealership a year after Helix install it. The bushing went to crap and they gave me a loaner and replaced my tensioner under the 2 year parts and labor warranty. I owed zip, zilch, zero and told the not to even think about washing my car. :lol:

    Yeah even on my (cough) very non OEM / modded (cough) car. :Thumbsup:
