Back on the road!! Seattle or Bust.

Well, the water pump problem finally got resolved! It was the craziest thing...the NEW water pump impeller was manufactured incorrectly but it was not obvious unless you looked closely. The hole in the center where the shaft goes was off center creating a problem with the seal not sealing properly.
What a PAIN! The poor mechanic had put it all back together twice before noticing this little incorrectly manufactured problem. So he ordered another new one that was not messed up and now it is dry as a bone.
He had to work on it two extra days for free. He was very honest and kept me posted on it's progress. I totally recommend this guy. I think it was awesome that he was able to finally diagnose the problem which was totally not his fault but a poorly manufactured part. It appeard that it was a genuine Saab part too, not a aftermarket part.
So today, I start my long trek home. I missed a couple days work, but at least the weather was nice here.
I'll post again when I make it home in a couple days.
By the way the mechanic is George and his shop is called Tatos European. He is located in Santa Clarita CA and I totally recommend his services.
