Hi Guys...I Thought about doing my own pump/timing belt/tensioner...but chickened out and gave the job to my FORD DEALER in Christchurch New Zealand,(wont name them..at the moment)
because of coolant coming out of the bottom plastic black timing cover.(ie pump leaking).
THEY INSTALLED A NEW PUMP , TENSIONER AND TIMING BELT on 12 SEPT 2018 with 20000km 1year warranty.
almost immediately after this coolant stated to drip coolant in a different place,but possibly related to the repair.
The coolant stream of begins above a coolant pipe. i can see that gasket for that pipe is dry. . [/b]
IT actually comes from where the alloy plate joins the engine block >>I can see it has a big gasket. This gasket is directly behind the timing system and pump assembly.
Now I see there is a blog for this .see viewtopic.php?f=4&t=60615
DO I HAVE ANY RIGHT TO COMPLAIN??? it was not leaking there before. is it related to the repair?? !!!!!! Or do I have no rights at all???
see PICTURE BELOW.COULD THEY HAVE DISTURBED THE GASKET DURING THE REPAIR???? or am i out of luck???. and looking at the same labour charge to repair the gasket leak this plus some huge gasket cost.???
thanks Rick
