Re: Temp Gauge may have killed my car

Trust me on this:

Get your water pump from the dealer. You will pay more than you will getting one from Autozone, but I've seen plenty of aftermarket pumps, even the "new" ones, come apart and take out the belt, t belt covers, etc...

While you are in there, check the timing belt, the cam and crank seals, and the belt tensioners and idlers, they are a lot easier to do while you have it apart doing the pump, also I would do the thermostat as well...
