This morning my Vanagon is getting it's sixth water pump put in!!  Is it
common for the Vanagon to have this much problems with the water pump.
My Vanagon has 130,500 miles on it.  This is the approximate times I had
to replace pumps:

    1    6,000          covered under 2 year/24,0000 warranty
    2    23,900        covered under 2 year/24,000 warranty
    3    48,000        covered under emission warranty
    4    74,000        paid for
    5    96,000        paid for
    6    130,500      paid for

Can someone tell me what is going on?

Thanks,
Floyd Truskot
