Hold on there sparky. Yes it is more expensive if they replace the whole thing. But you're likely the latest victim of impeller disintigration.

Many people have fixed this themselves as the part you need (1/2 the pump) only costs ~$70 and it is VERY easy to do yourself. Even for a newbie.


Hey, trust us. Remember, we told you it was the waterpump and then you had to tell them. Nice...

When I bought my 1995 Contour I always joked I would drive it until the wheels fell off...never did I realize that with this car, that could actually happen!
