So a week before my water pump went out on the S14 a friend of mine's water pump went out as well. I declined to fix it as I'd never changed one before lol, guess that excuse flew out the window, damn karma
anyways
she has it changed at this mechanics shop in a one horse town "Billybobs auto shop" or whatever.
Then she calls me Saturday, her car is overheating... I drive out to where she is and sure enough, it's leaking coolant.
I didn't bother to do much troubleshooting, it was a slow leak (took nearly two weeks to drain the system) so I reserviced the radiator and told her to take it back to them on Monday.
She just got ahold of me, the shop says it's the radiator and it needs to be replaced.... for $300. Seems a bit shady if you ask me. I know my Chilton's gives specific warnings on taking care to not damage the radiator during the Waterpump R2
alright what do you guys think she should do?
