Crawled under the trooper to change it's oil Friday night. First thing I see is coolant running out from behind the plastic timing belt cover.
I knew that the water pump was timing belt driven.
I have a receipt from a shop that shows all that was replaced 12000 miles ago with gates parts.
I know I could have probably reused the belt and what not but is it really worth taking a chance with a 3 yr old riding around in the car?
Found a dayco kit on rock Auto for $116.
The aisin kit was 3x that unfortunately.
Fortunately I got paid last Friday so instead of me getting a new phone to replace my broken one I ordered the kit with the new water pump .
Hopefully it lasts more than 12000 miles
