Hi all. Was topping my car up with water yesterday when i noticed a pink buildup on the engine. apparently its the water pump bypass hose leaking..£173.00 for lexus to fix it as its not covered under warranty.. is this serious as cant really afford to get it done right now..also has anyone used this servicing company [url="http://prestigecarservicing.com/lexusservice.html?gclid=CJ2-vpiUopgCFQoh3god9xldnA"]http://prestigecarservicing.com/lexusservi...CFQoh3god9xldnA[/url] if so please advise. thanks..

How come it's not covered under warranty? Is it one of those weasel clauses? Seems a high cost to me. I would try a good local garage. Can't be that complicated surely. It's only a car - thousands of them on the road.
