So I was driving today and my temp gauge maxed out. It took me 2 hours and 4 liters of water for a normal 25 minute drive home. Got it home ran some tests and the tale tell sign is no heat from the vents!It took 10 years for mine to die......  Now I pray the plastic impellers didn't explode (if I have them). I will fix it in the morning so I'll let you know.

Well kids here it is in all it's glory! That was a PITA because of the tight area, but atleast it was at the front of the car. Glad it didn't shatter to much and we found all the pieces.

I am happy I switched to the metal impeller when the supercharger went in a few years ago. (same for my old SE too)
