A few months ago we had the water pump replaced on my daughters car. The engine has since developed a distinct, loud sound like a helicopter. It appears to be coming from the water pump area, the car is not moving. My experience with pumps is bad bearings,screeching or leaking, never this sound. Sometimes it lasts only about 5 seconds then disappears, making it hard to trace. We will take it back to the dealer if the pump is bad as it is under warranty, but will go somewhere else if it is not the pump, as we got soaked by them a few times already.. Any ideas? Rick
