I think the dealer broke my car!!!
I had my 1990 N/A 'vert in the shop and the following was performed:
and now the car which was leak free is leaking out a fair amount of coolant!!
i got under the car and it is dripping from the shroud that wraps around in front of the oil pan. any ideas on what could be causing this??????
- Removed Lower Intake to Replace Fuel Dampener
- New Pulsation Dampener installed
- New purge valve installed
- Ran New Vacuum Lines
- Replaced Fuel injector O Rings
and now the car which was leak free is leaking out a fair amount of coolant!!

ask to see faulty parts after the fact for proof.
you may or may not be surprised at how shady some dealers can be.

My boss has a GMC sonoma, low mileage. Took it last week to get a tune up. New plugs, filters, etc. He got it back smoking bad, running on 7 cyl. They claim that a valve must have gone bad, when they had it, with nothing to do with them. Friday he took it to an independant shop who borescoped it reveiling a large hole in the piston, and some head damage . Pulled the pan and found a mashed bolt and chunks of the piston.
The dealer has flat refused to cover the damage, with the service manager saying he won't get a dime.

yea i had the same thing happen to me.. i took my car to them before.. and suppose to get a tune up .. but they didn't do crap... took it the whole day.. and still didn't finish on it... suppose to change plugs,belts, adjust timing valve job, all the fluids flushed and rotate tires.. only thing they did was change the oil, belts and that was it.. didn't even rotate the tires! i could tell because i had some crappy rims on... never bring your car to the dealers they'll rip your *** off... and plug you a new hole while they at it.. lol

Have to remove the main pulley bolts, at least I had to. It's not hard at all really. Before you do that though. Check to make sure your lower radiator hose is clamped really really well. Onto the housing, I thought I had my heater leaking but it was the lower rad hose was loose because its so damn hard to get to. More than likely if you change the pump though. You'll need gaskets for the housing and the pump.

buy a haynes manual and check the FSM on here. the water pump is a fairly straight forward replacement. just remember to get new gaskets a new t-stat would be good to while your in there.

You need to go look first and figure out where the water is leaking from exactly. You don't just go and start replacing parts to figure out the problem unless you are a Mazda Dealer mechanic
