I have noticed that my car runs a little warmer at idle since having the water pump replaced. It is, however, in the normal range and turning on the fans via the AC makes it run on the cool side.
Good news is I guess this means I have the metal impellor. I guess it's fine as long as it doesn't run too hot. It was okay the other day in nasty stop-and-go traffic and approx. 80 degrees, so it should be fine. I may find and check any and all bleeders, though...
