Water Pump Replacement

How are water pump issues diagnosed?

The technician will check for leaks around the water pump area. While the engine runs, a stethoscope may also be used to check for noise from the water pump bearing. If it's not buried away, the belt driving the pump, as well as its pulley, will be visually inspected. For electric water pumps on some newer cars, the engine's computer will be checked for codes, and tests will be performed to determine the proper repair.

How is a water pump replaced?

To replace the water pump, the cooling system is drained and the fan belt or timing belt and pulleys are removed. Depending on which belt drives the pump, that belt and other related components will be removed, followed by the pump itself. Engine surfaces are cleaned, a new water pump and gasket are installed, and the cooling system is refilled.

RepairPal recommendations for water pump issues

The entire cooling system, including coolant hoses and fittings, the radiator, the coolant fan and the fan clutch, should be inspected when replacing the water pump. To help prevent future issues, we recommend replacing the thermostat at this time, as well. If the water pump is driven by the timing belt, it's customary to replace the pump any time the belt is replaced.

Can I replace the water pump myself?

The vast majority of water pumps only require simple tools to replace. But the procedures vary wildly from car to car. Prior to ordering parts or attempting this repair yourself, look online for guides on how to replace the part in your vehicle. Some will require significant disassembly of the front end of the motor — in these cases, you may be better off letting a repair shop handle the job.
