Re: Waterpump failure...

you know, that might be it. my car has an annoying grind too and i know for a fact that my water pump is bad because it ruined my opti. do you hear it around the time you let the clutch out in first?

nope, the noise is loudest at idle, but if u spin the motor up to 1500-2k rpm, the noise fades out...Its still there, but not as loud..
