Just to follow up. I replaced the water pump and blower, parts were covered under my people's choice warranty. Water pumps aren't cheap. Seems like the codes that I read were just basic stuff. I'm not sure what the mechanic was getting with his scanner. He also mentioned my battery was defective. He said he got a code saying it wasn't taking a charge. That's a fresh battery only after one year. He told me to use my car more to keep it charged. I work from home so it sits for sometimes a week in the cold... anyway. recap of what I replaced so far.
Bought in 2019 with ~54,000km's. Almost 2 years of use now and 74,000km's...
- Battery, twice.
- Coils and plugs and motor cover (broke the vaccum tube)
- Thermostat
- Water pump
- HVAC Blower motor
I bought a high level third party warranty, it's about half paid for itself alread..
So far, not bad I guess... seems to be all the "issue" things that go wrong with this model.
