Hello
My 2008 Sportivo zr6 decided to dump the radiator fluid on the floor. I am pretty sure the water pump is gone. Car is at the Mechanics who will diagnose my problem but I'm pretty sure it's the feared water pump that needs replacing.
Has anyone had this replaced recently in Perth, and how much was it? I am bracing for a 2k quote (engine needs to come out, but some clever people can change the pump without pulling the engine)
I drove the car a short while keeping an eye on the temp gauge, ensuring it did not go near the red zone. Will I have done any damage to the car? It was steaming but I gave it 30min to cool before setting off again (probably drove 3-4km in total).
Pretty annoying to have to spend $$ on the car but I guess it wasn't too expensive to buy second hand, and this might be the last of it's issues.
Thanks for interest
