Water Pump/Front Brake Replacement Issue
Hi everyone,
Was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. I have an '05 Corvette, manual, base model. I just had my water pump and front brakes replaced at the dealer. I took the car for a test drive and after starting the car, I heard a loud squealing sound. After driving, I noticed when I shifted into gear, especially 2nd and higher, it seemed like the car was struggling, slipping a bit, which also sounded like a duller squealing sound.
Dealer didn't notice it when I took it back in, so when I go back I'd like to maybe point them in the right direction as to what the problem might be. I did not have this problem prior to having the repairs.
Any ideas would be helpful...
Thank you.

do you smell anything ? Coolant may have been spilled on the belts. Why were the brakes replaced ? Were the rotors replaced ? The wrong size rotors may have been installed although I doubt it, or the brakes may be dragging due to pressure issues with the ebcm if the brake fluid was flushed and over pressurized.
good luck

UPDATE: After driving a few times, seems like the issue has been resolved. May have been just new positioning of the belts, not entirely sure, but seems ok now.
