Is there any way to tell for sure if my water pump has failed? I went to the dealer for an inspection and they told me it needed to be replaced - and they said they wanted to fix a tensioner and the brakes and and oil pan gasket all for $4650 - so I don't fully trust them. So, before I fork out $400 for a water pump I want to be positive it's broken.

I got codes 2E81 and 2E84.

My radiator fan comes on sometimes (1-2 times a week this happens) and will stay on full blast until I park the car - Ktemp goes to 75C while fan is on.
This is why they checked the codes.

Coolant temperature has never gone over 100C in the last three weeks I've been watching it.

Dealer visit was two days ago.

Any advice?

Thanks.
