| Description of the problem | Engine coolant leak. Had to replace the turbo water feed tube located under the intake manifold. The tube has approximate 3" rubber line which is exposed to high temperatures and over time fails, requiring replacement. Repair cost of $1101. 72. After replacing the hose and completing the repair, i still had a coolant leak. This time it appeared to be the water pump. I went to the dealer to get the purchase the pump and there was a mechanic note stating to check the water pump seals as it is known to have a pinched seal which causes leakage. To replace the seals, the mechanic has to remove the intake manifold and the covers in front of the water pump before the pump can be removed (labor intensive). Up until i had the vo8 recall i did not experience any problems. I also recently had a service def system alert. When i spoke with the mechanic he stated are you having coolant leakage and i said yes. The mechanic said it sounds like your turbo is about to fail. This is when i identified there is a vo1 recall. |
