I do not suggest used parts on steering repairs. Recently the water pump had to be replaced. The shop replaced the water pump and thermostat. Their answer, it is company policy, at my expense. I suggest thermostat replacement when replacing a water pump.
Thermostats do wear out, sometimes get lazy, and can cause the engine to either run cold or hot.
I agree with the thermostat replacement. Copyright 1999, Motor Matters Return to main automotive showroom page. Thank you for visiting.
