Water Pump replaced

[BillC]

Had the water pump replaced on our '23 OBX. I can't see where the dealer flushed the cooling system. Nor did they replace the serpentine belt. I know the stretch-fit belt on our 1.6l Fiesta is a single time use item, and would have guessed the belt on the Bronco Sport would be as well. Does anyone have input on this?

Curious how many miles you have on your car before it was replaced. Did you have any signs it was leaking?

I am wondering if mine is leaking. I don’t have any spots under my car, but I can smell it from time to time. I check the coolant level on mine weekly. Going to have my dealer check it out when I take it in for an oil change later this month.

They replaced my belt with a new one. I told them to and Ford covered it.

22,850 km (a shade over 14k miles). We've been complaining about coolant smell for about 4000km. I noticed staining on the upper alternator bracket, and they'd filled up the coolant with over 1 quart of coolant.

The dealership told me the belt wasn't covered under warranty.
The second time the water pump was replaced I payed for the new belt and they put it on.

I'm not paying for a replacement belt at 22,000km

I don't blame you.
