Is there a way to test the output of a water pump? My '89 Carat with automatic blew the coolant line that goes from the side of the thermostat housing to the "T"-pipe a week ago (it was 95šF outside, here in Texas). The hose is now replaced, but I'm worried that there may have been some factor other than age that made the line blow. The Carat has about 125K miles, and about 10K of those are mine. The previous owner claimed to have had the engine rebuilt, but there's no telling either when that was or whether the water pump was replaced. -- bcnu - Grungy (Houston, TX) opinions are just that.obviously. 60 dddPanel 69 Bug 89 Carat 90 Vanagon GL (parting out) 05 Jetta Wagon TDI g r u n g y AT g r u n g y DOT c o m |
