1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. Approx. 165480 mi. and well looked after. Took in for coolent leak (puddle under engine) and reservoir levels always low (duh). On 9/30/10 @ AAA shop told me they did coolent flush, etc. told me that was fine but I needed H2O pump bad and needed replaced. $446.36 pump. Seemed fine...for a bit ( also AAA never showed me old H2O part). On 10/19/10 took back to same shop due to cont'd. low levels in reservoir (no overheating at any time) test again. Trans cooler lines small leak found...future repair & est. ( $365.55) no repair there. On 11/16/10 coolent levels still running low (have to keep in back of car) and dropping often. Shop tests again. Show me small leak coming from behind H2O pump also tell me coolent is streaming out as I drive so I don't see puddle under car and tell me need to replace front timing cover gaskets? Part not too $ but labor$$$$ due to having to remove new H2O pump est.$687.79. Then on the "QT" recommends I loosen radiator cap 1 click to relieve pressure for awhile due to $$ issues. (single mom). Went for 2nd opinion to another shop where priveous repairs & honest work had been done 5or 6x's and in business 38 yrs.(would have gone there first but they told me not to risk over heating... (they are quite far distance ). New shop does pressure test on cooling system. Coolent leak orig. from by-pass hose connect at H2O pump. Hose appears to have been replaced (aftermarket label on hose and clamp) Accessed by-pass hose by partial diassemble and found hose clamp at H2O pump very loose causing leak. No hole/leak in hose itself. They repositioned clamp and tightened. Pressure test to verify repair. Did not have to remove H2O pump to do repair. New shop went from initial fee of 183.02 to $75.34. Done deal. Contacted AAA for some answers and possible reimbursments. Your opions please! Many thanks, Holly and little Zane.
