I was on the way to work and my car started to overheat. So after work I drove my car about 10 miles while its overheated. (Its not exactly overheating, it was just running hot)
So I did research and found out that VW jetta has a plastic water pump impeller (what the hell were they thinking) so anyways. its a good thing that I am a mechanic, but it was a pain in the @#! replacing the water pump. I changed my timing belt, timing idler, timing belt tensioner, it cost me about $240. it would of cost me about $1500 if I took it to the dealer or car shop.
The only thing I do not like about VW is that plastic impeller.
