About 2 years ago, my mother's Renault Kangoo (then about 4 yrs old) incurred a huge garage bill (well over £1000) to supposedly get it through its MOT and fix a leaking water pump.
The garage (a main dealer) has just phoned to say that the water pump is "noisy" and needs replacing. Given that this is the same garage that tried to charge my mother £700 for a new instrument cluster (that I fixed my removing & reattaching the connections) you can understand why I wish to god my mother would stop taking it to this dealer which I think is preying on vunerable elderly folk.
It would be helpful to know if there is a problem with Kangoo water pumps and how I might diagnose a problem myself. The car is otherwise running perfectly. Can't say I've noticed any odd noises coming from it recently but then I've not stuck my head under the bonnet for a while.
