I started a post about 2 weeks ago this is an update to that post. To
recap, I brought my 1999 Civic 74,000 miles to Pompano Honda. I had three
motor mounts replaced, timing belt, drive belts water pump and fuel
injection cleaning.

After 2 weeks and 5 trips (they tell me when it is convenient for them to
look at the car) they say they found the problem finally. The water pump
was not lubricated properly and they had to add a lubricant to the
radiator fluid. This is after they told me left and right it was the air
box, they replaced the gasket twice and reseated several times. Then they
recleaned the fuel injector thinking there was a stuck carbon. Then on
this last trip they decided to replace all the vacuum hoses, pcv valve and
other parts they didn?t mention. So after all this they discovered a
bulletin to which they will not show me nor will they give me the number
because it would be of no use to me because I don?t have access to the
Honda dealer line, ummmm ok.

So has anyone herd of having to lubricate a new water pump? Also if this
is the case would the 200 miles I put on the car have damaged it? They do
not feel inclined to replace the water pump unless I have a problem within
12,000 miles.

Needless to say right now the car is not making the loud Squeal (they
called it a whistle) noise.

Thanks in advance
