Ooh, this is a fun one. The water pump is driven by the timing belt, so you have to remove and replace that to change out the water pump. ~Pengauin
its in the midle of the head under the powerstering pump you have to remove the timing covers if you are going to change it i would recomend the you changethe the timing chain
about $700 to $800...with a new water pump
The thermostat is located in the water outlet on a 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante. It can be found by following the upper radiator hose to the water outlet.
Behind the timing belt. The timing belt drives the water pump with the pump's pulley.
It will take you approximately 6 hours, if you keep the timing marks in place. Also, consider replacing water pump at same time, it takes about 20 minutes longer to do it as you replace the timing belt.
The water pump is located in the shroud that houses the timing belt. This is why the pump is changed when you get a new timing chain.
Difficult to describe. It is next to the timing belt and is usually changed when you replace the timing belt
no you do not have to change the timing chain when changing the water pump.
the water pump is behind the timing belt,depending on how mechanically inclined you are it could take a few hrs-a few days.its a very big job
Behind the timing cover, while you are there, replace the timing belt, it's only $30.
Replacing the water pump and replacing the timing belt are both part of the 60K maintenance.
