You should only have to remove the serpinine belt to change the water pump. The timing belt is inside the plastic covers. The serpentine belt is visible to you.
It is most likely the water pump...If you change the pump also change the timing belt and the timing belt tension pully! I just changed all that in mine and now it runs at normal temps.
You do not have to, but if the water pump is timing belt driven it is highly recommended.
You do not have to change the timing belt to replace the water pump. You do have to remove the timing belt cover to be able to access the bolts that hold the water pump on.
Inside the front of the engine, driven by the timing belt.
No, but it can be recommended on a system where the timing belt runs the water pump.
If the timing belt drives the water pump you should replace the belt at the same time as the pump.
The water pump should be driven by the timing belt, yes. If you change the water pump, you might wanna change the timing belt and tensioner while you're in there.
The water pump is driven by timing belt, so, replace the timing belt while you are replacing water pump, because you have to take off timing belt to get to water pump.
The same way you change the timing belt. the water pomp runs off the timing belt. It,s a pain in the butt.
The timing belt cover should be right behind the water pump .. So remove the water pump then remove the timing belt cover then remove the timing belt then do all them steps backwards
4cyl. engine does not have timing belt,6cyl timing belt and water pump should be replaced every 100k miles
No, you do not have to replace the timing belt at the same time as the water pump. It is highly recommended because there is no additional labor involved since the timing belt must be removed to replace the water pump.
