Not relevant to your question but how many miles do you have? I have the same car and been reading on here that its a known issue with this model and a major project and DIY. I have seen on here anywhere from $650 (DIY) to $1100 (Dealer).

FYI: $390 (dealer price)

I know I will have the same issue and not looking forward to this...

it went out a few miles shy of 79k. I tested it when I took it off and it still worked, but was very weak compared to the replacement I got.

Ok, currently I am at 91K... I have seen on here anywhere from 50K to 130K and then replace so I'm kind of in the middle as you are.

Did you do the install yourself?

yea I was hoping I could get closer to where you are lol. but im happy ive had the car over 40k miles and this is the first time the car was undrivable and fixed it in a few hours anyways.

but yea I did it myself in my driveway. not too hard with all the guides online.

Ok, then I am optimistic about it. With all the great information and DIY on here I have done everything to the car except for alignment for obvious reasons. I am pretty handy and have all the tools.

Thanks for the input.

I ordered mine on line $475 package for waterpump and thermostat! You should replace the thermostat since you will be in the same area for repairs. I have a buddy that replaced it for me $200 for labor...he's a tech! lmk if i can help...
