Installed new rear door rubber gaskets, got em from that link I saw on here somewhere.....anyway, great oem quality and fit, they didn’t have the side door gaskets in stock.
As if splurging on a FF rear end weren’t enough, I noticed a coolant leak and then hearing a funny new rotational noise that progressively got worse coming from the engine compartment. After closer inspection, I noticed a bolt protruding from my water pump pulley, and 2 out of the 4 were altogether gone! I tightened the 2 remaining and luckily the noise went away, and luckily it didn’t let loose, could have been a complete disaster!
I ordered up a new water pump, 203* thermostat and billet thermostat housing from Strictly Diesel. While the shop has er opened up replacing the water pump, I’m also getting a new water pump pulley with 4 new bolts, a new belt and both hoses. That aughta do it for a while, I’m hoping......
