Water pump leaking / Replace @ 30.5k!

[shidosha01]

Pretty bummed about it but I was getting my radiator flushed at 30k and my mechanic told me I had a water pump leak. Good thing my car still falls under the 60months/60,000 mile warranty. Just picked up my car today at Ourisman Fairfax Toyota and they replaced everything.

Has anyone else here had problems with their water pump before 60k?

Ourisman Toyota told me that this is the first they had a 1MZ-FE with 30k that had to get the water pump replaced.

I had my water pump replaced at 99k when I had the timing belt done. It was showing a little wear, but would have been good for many more miles.

got mine done at 108K. I can hear the water pump grinding at the morning start. Timing belt and accessory belts too. The accessory belts had little cracks on them already.

30k is a little pre-mature. how's your driving style/commute?

I didn't experience any weird noises coming from the engine....only from the supercharger ....but as far as my driving habits...I rarely even gun it or even race. 15% to 10% racing.
