Re: WHERE IS THE WATER PUMP LOCATED ON A 1998 PLYMOUTH...
Here are the steps required to change the water pump on the 3.0L engine.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Drain the cooling system.
- Remove the drive belts. Remove the timing belt covers and the timing belt.
- Remove the water pump mounting bolts.
- Separate the water pump from the water inlet pipe and remove the water pump.
- Inspect the water pump and replace as necessary.
To install:
- Clean all gasket and O-ring surfaces on the water pump and water pipe inlet tube.
- Wet a new O-ring with water and install it on the water inlet pipe.
- Install a new gasket on the water pump.
- Install the pump inlet opening over the water pipe and press until the pipe is completely inserted into the pump housing.
- Install the water pump-to-block mounting bolts and tighten to 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm).
- Install the timing belt and timing belt covers. Install and adjust the drive belts.
- Reconnect the negative battery cable. Fill the cooling system to the proper level with a 50/50 mixture of clean, ethylene glycol antifreeze and water.
- Run the engine and check for leaks. Top off the coolant level, if necessary.
I THINK ITS THE 3.0 V6.
