Message	I was going back and forth with a fellow last month in regards to water pump replacement during 60k maintenance - he insisted it isn't required and is only a matter of convenience. I argued otherwise, but I could not find any documentation specifying the service life of the water pump after looking for about 30 minutes in search, etc. The reason I asked is that I wanted to know if you read something to that effect and decided based on that "information." Either way, I'm not here to point and laugh - just remember, it's always easier the second time =). Recursively Yours, Kenny... PETZ Member #5
