I'm in Georgia, just a bit northwest of Atlanta.

I had a talk with the shop forman today, took him for a second test drive
during which I was able to demonstrate the problem in action. He had been
in touch with "Star" which had advised him that the problem was
temperature related, and that similar problems had been seen elsewhere.

The nature of the problem, as stated, is that a temperature slightly above
normal will result in a failure of the supercharger unit to engage. The
answer is to replace the water pump.

Funny, now that it looks like a cooling problem (the temp gauge never
showed one), the thing that popped into my head was that the problem
didn't show up until shortly after I had the E19 service performed. I
looked at the service ticket to get the date when the E19 service was
completed and it matches quite nicely with the date when I first noticed
the problem. The shop foreman, however, does not believe there is
a connection between the two events. Even though they seem to
be related by timing and the system involved.

As it stands, the shop foreman is to consult again with "Star" with the
possibility that the answer will be to replace the water pump. I just
want to know... why can't they back out the E19 related change and
see if the problem goes away. I had seen none of the temperature
related problems noted, and the car ran great. Maybe I'll push this
when I talk with the shop foreman again tomorrow. I wonder what
the odds are that I can get a recall change reversed?
