This is a Rediculous!

Hey all,

Long time since I have been on, buts its been a long time since I have really had the car back.

Long story short, I was in an accident in Late November, I got the car back after 3 months....

Ive had the car back for *about* 3months.

So today on my way home from work my entire Water Pump Housing cracked off and sent the fan partially through my brand new radiator!

Oh so annoying. Anyway, tomorrow I will find out if the Smash Repairers will fit the bill cause they obviously didnt replace the water pump even though it had been hit/damaged from my front on accident.

Im guessing there was a hairline fracture or something.

Here are the pics...

Damn....

A Water pump cant just fall over like that....

must of had acrack in it.... Pin it on the smash repairers... That should of been replaced..

Bad luck dude... Hope all goes well

Fracture + a very very tight belt?

Yea, I was thinking that perhaps the belt was tentioned far to much and stressing the pump to much...

But you would have to be Hercules to do it that tight and not realise?

Im thinking that what may have happened is that the shaft was slightly damaged in the accident and it has grabbed on my way home. Im sure that even at 4k RPM it would be easier to snap that than to free itself up....

Hmmm, all speculation... I just really need it fixed.

Yeah it did happen to me, exept it happened with a brand new one the 1st day that it was on!

I got my money back for the pump plus a replacement pump and the money for a new fan and radiator, all from super cheap auto (took 2 months to get it though).

I put the pump on and I know I didnt over tighten it so I dunno what happened.

Dumb ass... it wasnt 1st day you had it on. If it were first day it would have broken when we were testing it. It was at least a few months after because we had just done my water pump and timing belt on my r33.
