Well, I never had a single mechanical problem with my 08 Ford Edge that I owned for 12 years. However, after I bought it, I had one guy tell me it took almost 2 days labor to replace a water pump because the dealer had to pull the engine, cost he was quoted was close to $2500. Made me wonder if Porsche had designed the car (I had owned a ‘72 911 in the distant past).

He’s wrong. The water pump can be replaced in the car.

It’s internal though and driven by the timing chain. Keep an eye on the coolant level and oil condition. When the water pump starts to leak it can leak in to the oil. Catch it early and it can be repaired.

Fill the oil pan full of coolant and you’ll have to replace the engine
