pull out your coolant res. pull off your belt. you will see the old waterpump. remove all four bolts. clean off gasket off waterpump mount on motor. place gasket. install.
I assume you are replacing the belt and also the waterpump, the waterpump is what tightens the timing belt, it spins in the housing in an oval shaped housing and tightens or loosens the belt, you need to loosen the waterpump bolts and rotate the pump to tighten the timing belt, make sure theres a small amount of slack in the belt after you tighten it, you dont what the belt too tight, you should be able to grab belt and move in and out an inch. heres a diagram to make sure all timing marks are lined up. note if the timing belt is being replaced you really should install a new waterpump and check the timing pulleys. good day.
the waterpump on this car is turned by the timing belt, when you replace the waterpump on this car the timing belt should be replaced no doubt about it, the timing belt must be replaced and also the pulleys checked and if the car have 100,000 miles or more the timing belt pulleys must be replaced. the reason for this is that if for any reason the belt jumps or breakes then engine damage will occur, the pistons will bend the valves and this is very costly, there is no extra labor to do the belt it has to be removed to do the waterpump you would just pay for the parts, for example to do a waterpump it would run about $400.00, then to do it right with a waterpump timing belt and pulleys it would run 500.00,i think its a wise thing to do.this car only uses one pulley that needs replacing so i said pulleys but rather just a pulley that runs in this belt design. good day, heres a few diagrams to help explain how it works.
THAT SOUNDS CORRECT! THE WATERPUMP HAS WHAT IS CALLED A WEEP HOLE! IT IS LOCATED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE WATERPUMP! IF THAT IS LEAKING, THE WATERPUMP WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED!
waterpump is driven by the timing belt. Therfore when changing the timing belt, you must also replace the waterpump. It will be too much time consuming effort to replace one or the other. The labour calls for both these items to be replaced. Most shops will charge about$300 -500.0 plus both parts for this service..
I believe it's 6 hours. That would include waterpump and tensioner labor, all three should be done at the same time since you have to remove the timingbelt to access the waterpump. The timingbelt has a longer lifespan than the waterpump but it's pointless to put an old belt back on. Considering it could end up costing thousands.
