Default 6200 miles and OK

I haven't had a problem, water pump or otherwise, so far. Can someone tell me where to find the build date on my S4? It arrived in the first week of May 2010.

Never mind...I found the sticker on the driver side on the post between the doors. Mine is 3/10 build, and I do have the Al water pump housing as detailed in the other thread. :-)

I have a build date of 02/10. It has the black water pump housing. So far no issues at 6900km but my coolant level is at the MIN mark when cold. I am assuming this is normal.
