2011 LR4 70k
3k miles ago replaced failing Water pump with URO from AB(rear oil cooler pipe and o rings as well)
Yesterday driving for 6 hours already and still 2 hours from home. Made quick stop and heavy acceleration up hill on ramp in 100 degree weather. 30 seconds later heard a screeching belt as we passed a truck( thinking to my self, idiot take better care of your car) 30 more seconds low coolant light (karma-I'm the idiot) pulled off next exit, draining coolant rapidly.
I had it towed to my in laws and won't have a chance to work on it for a few days, visible water near water pump, but unable to identify exact location of leak. Before I break it down I wanted to get some feedback about likely culprit.
I know their has been talk about a hose associated with pump failure, is that the LR018275 water outlet?
I have a new pump, pipe, and o rings in case but it seems crazy to have a failure that soon. I know URO isn't oem, but I would hope for more life.
Do our 5.0's share the same problem with the jags front crossover pipe failure?
Any advise on what to look for would be appreciated. I'll update
