  1. Picked up my 2008 KX-S Kluger from the dealership yesterday after it had had its 110,000km service. Clean bill of health until they noticed coolant on the water pump. Noted 'water pump showing signs of slight weep - replace - $2850'. No typo there - $2850 to replace the water pump. They describe it as requiring an engine out which is where I guess all the cost is involved as a quick view of the internet indicates I could buy a new pump for under $200. My vehicle has only done 46,000km, has had a very easy life and has had every log book service since new. I am the original owner. I did see a similar post on a 2008 Kluger water pump after someone had put their vehicle in for a 120,000 km service. Don't know what milegae that vehicle had done, but was wondering if it was also low mileage. At this stage I have chosen only to monitor the pump and coolant level. The coolant level hadn't changed since the last service 6 months ago. Toyota did not presuure test the system. On the basis of a some coolant on the water pump I'm not prepared to spend $2850 - yet. I had seen some comments indicating that this was the same motor they put in the Aurion and that they had determined a method for prepalcing the pump with removing the motor. Has anyone heard anything more on that? Any, all feedback appreciated.
