I'm at 83K miles.... no more warranty for me... (thank god)

I had the warranty service done on mine... with the new part... and it didn't fix the issue.

Well.. I can say that this is definately due to ride height / compression of the rear springs. I can still get the growling in 1st and 2nd under hard acceleration... esp. when turning right. I have also noted over this past winter that I've gotten it with people in the back seat. I've also hear it several times when the suspension is loaded up (compression) (driving on a rolling road... at the bottom of the trough between hills). On all three cases.. the only common item is ride height / spring compression. It is not soley dependent on power output... but moreso rear suspension compression.

Easy.

Mine has been bad over the past week.... (below 40 deg. temperatures). Very bad while accelerating or taking right turns (or cloverleaf onramps).

IMHO, no. You do want to watch out for boost creep, however, from what I've read.

That's good!

They have a number on the console, no?

A water pump only has one wear item.... the bearings. If you change your Antifeeze on a regular schedule (say ever 30K-35K), it should last well past 200K miles, IMHO. I see your point, however.

I don't subscribe to the "water pump must be changed with the timing belt" mentality. Can someone explain why this is a rule of thumb?

Sounds like a plan, my good man!

Promising.... I'm holding judgement at this point!

So... Driving impressions? Did this fix the issue definately?

Good post. I'm going to need to do this work next spring.

Almost forgot about that!

No problem.

Stickied.....
