Question Follow up to killed my 2.0?

The original post was this:

Killed my 2.0?

The problem ended up being the water pump blades shattered.



I have dug out most of the blades but I know there are still some in it.

Any suggestions on making sure I got all of the broken plastic out?

I am afraid that I may cause damage to the now water pump if I do not get it all out.

Wow! Is the impeller shaft bent?

Other than flushing the cooling system I know of no other way.

yes it looks to me that the force of the impeller breaking and falling apart jammed it, bent the shaft and shattered all of the blades.
