When I bought my Mystique a few months ago, I wanted to get the history of the car, to see if the water pump had been changed since it's birth.. Never had the time to do that, but now I know...
It's the original pump.. well, it
was the original pump, until it vaporized a couple of hours ago.. grrr...
Oh well.. now it's a matter of finding a replacement with a metal impeller. I don't think the local autoparts will carry those though..
I just hope the engine wasn't damaged, the temp gauge was in the ed zone for about 20-30 seconds max before I shut it down.. I had a nice cloud behind me on the highway..
