The new one is the same glass filled nylon material, the only difference I could see was that they enlarged the gate (location where the plastic is injected) on the part.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

How do you tell if the waterpump has gone bad the car overheatered last night on way home white smoke, a lot of it. Temp light flashing temp reading just to the right of 0 in 180. I was near home so I finished the trip for various reasons, one was no cell phone with me. Parked car coolant dripping at front and rear of engine. No intermix so how do you test the water pump? Or what else could be the issue? Car has been running a little warmer lately. Thanks,

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Update... coolant line fitting/bracket between alternater and powersteering pump is broken, connects two small diameter lines, one comes up from lower rear of engine other comes down driver's side over top from front of engine.

POST 4Original post

Len, While you're at it, check to see if you have the updated coolant reservoir cap. If not, go ahead and replace it.

POST 5Original post

Kevin, good point. BTw - the latest coolant cap part number ends in "02".

POST 6Original post

You got some white smoke? How sure are you that the head gasket didn't blow from overheating?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just drove the car is running cooler than I've seen in years. Thanks

POST 8Original post

The plastic two-sided male nipple fitting that runs vertical? Wonder how that broke on its own?

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes that IS the part. The material had degraded and the upper hose snapped off. I am sure because when I unbolted the bracket the lower hose snapped off, and it was difficult to get the old tubes out of the hose because they kept crumbling as I attempted to remove them. The new one is the same glass filled nylon material, the only difference I could see was that they enlarged the gate (location where the plastic is injected) on the part. This could make the glass fibers in the remain longer, thus stronger hopefully, although this one lasted 113,00 miles.
