Questions

Owners ask.

Anything else, call and ask for a service advisor.

My temperature gauge climbs in traffic. Is it urgent?

Yes. Stop driving it and call. Overheating a modern aluminum engine can mean head or engine damage.

Do you replace the water pump with the timing belt?

On belt-driven engines, yes; it is standard practice.
