Took a vid of my water pump noise....
Well I've had it at the dealer and yes they heard the noise but the tech couldn't hear it long enough to figure out where it was coming from. Yes at time it does do it only for a few seconds but I figured I would make a vid of it just to document it. I'm 99.8% sure its the water pump but they said they weren't sure if it was alternator OR the water pump. Now of course it doesn't do it AT ALL in the warmer temps and may last up to 45secs in really cold weather. Also since I'm out of bumper to bumper coverage it would be fixed under the power train warranty. Which I have about 28k miles left on so hopefully it gets fixed before I have to pay for it.
Anyone else have it this bad?

Well they heard it for themselves but of course they didn't have time to pinpoint it so they are keeping it another night to try in the morning. This time said they will have a few techs and the service manager there at start up lol.
