Year of Manufacture *: 2008
Last November replaced timing belt and water pump on this vehicle.Last month and 12643 miles later it was recovered to us on flatbed with massive timing belt failure ,turned out the water pump had seized melting the plastic guide pulley next to the pump and stripping the teeth off the belt this in turn had caused the valves to crack all cam followers .A huge bill to repair.
I am trying to recover costs from supplier,The water pump in question was a BGA (British Gaskets Automotive.
They are dragging their feet on this and I was wandering if anyone else has had this.
Thanks for reading
