A true Volkswagen gen-next in the recently popular mid-size car section, the Volkswagen Passat 2012 seems to target both the budget buyer of cars and luxury car savvy American consumers. Automakers of Chattanooga, Tennessee are the first to assemble this European sedan in a way that is customized to the likes of the average American auto-buyer. With 2011s VW Jetta, this German automobile company entered the mid-size sedan market but the Passat seems to overtake the Jetta in significantly improvised interiors and a reduced price. 8000 from the older much expensive Passat. The styling is aggressive and very sporty. The design features a uniform crease that initiates at the headlight down to the edge of the trunk at the rear. Body panels and hood match perfectly with no gaps as they are laser cut with some of the most advanced auto engineering technologies. The front grill with 3 horizontal bars, a dark textured lower tack and sharp headlight settings en masse for a red-blooded luxury front ensemble. VW has stood up to its promise to deliver better interiors with leather steering, soft-touch dashboard, faux wood-grain car flooring high quality seating and of course the generous interior spacing. The vehicle touch points are a highlight and a far cry from that in the Jetta. 3 options of tires, from 16 inches to 18 inches. A digital information station between the tachometer and speedometer allows for the new age steering experience. Audio system by Fender, most iconic amplifier and music system manufacturers in the world. Need we say more? The car has a lot that does not meet the eye but sure is much to ask for in the mid-size segment. Oh did I miss out on the price of this incredible car. You better believe it!

If any of the following apply to your vehicle it may be time to replace the water pump. Has your car overheated lately? Do you find yourself "topping off" the radiator reservoir more often? Is there a puddle of radiator fluid under your car? Can you move the water pump pulley back and forth at all? Does your car have over 50,000 miles on it? It may be time to replace the water pump. Water pumps wear out. Just like any moving part they eventually wear out. The water pump is a critical part of your engine. The water pump is usually located front and center of the engine. It sits against the engine behind a pulley and the fan. There are "weep" holes located on the bottom and the top of the pump. These weep holes start to leak when the pump is wearing out. If left unreplaced eventually the bearings will wear out and the car will overheat which could cause major engine damage.
You must stop the car and allow it to cool down or risk blowing your engine. These are all signs of a water pump in need of replacement. So, let's pull off those acrylic nails, pull our hair back and get started. Where Is the Water Pump? Below is a nice diagram of the location of the water pump on a standard v8 engine. On engines that are sometimes referred to as "sideways" the location would be on the side. The replacement of a water pump can take from 1.5 hours to 3 hours depending on your experience level. Experience matters only because there are several items that must be removed to access the water pump. Simple items, but time consuming to remove. If you're experienced than you're going to know exactly what needs to be removed and start pulling parts off left and right. If you're not experienced you're going to be looking about, reading your shop manual and being more cautious.
