2016 Auxiliary water pump

[Lakeray]

2016 LR$, 35,000 miles. As I pulled into a parking lot my "low coolant light" came on. When I stepped out water was pouring out the front. Shut the engine off. Dealer has it and said it was the auxiliary water pump. Haven't found anyone else with that issue. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Water pumps and crossover pipes are super common. Usually the water pumps don’t catastrophically fail however.

Should I have them replace the regular waterpump and crossover pipes? Anyway?

It's not a matter of if the crossover pipes will fail, but when.
You can change them now to avoid problems later on.

There is the main water pump and another smaller pump that sends flow through the supercharger.
But I have never heard of that smaller pump having problems.

You probably lost the front crossover pipe.

Assuming you have not already toasted the engine...


Do it yourself, save $5K in dealership labor.

(This is crazy long, but just 2 weeks ago I received a thank you e-mail from a fellow LR4 enthusiast who followed this and successfully did it himself.)
