your car will over heat and it will drain out the antifreeze (in your radiator). The water pump will drain fluid from the small hole in the water pump (hard to see) but if u look under and near the water pump you would see fluid. The water pump is normally found in the center of the serpentine belt on one of the pullies. Normally the cars serpentine belt will squeak from the antifreeze on the belt. if you are replacing the water pump you would need a water pump...a gasket for water pump and a new serpentine belt (dont buy a Napa belt)
Depends on how you ran the belt. On a V belt, looking at the front of the motor, the water pump would be turning clockwise. If on the serpentine you ran under the water pumppully and are running on the back side of the belt as some do, then the pump would be turning counter clockwise and yes, running backwards.
The water pump is run off the timing belt. did you have the belt installed by a Toyota certified technician? if not i would definitely check the water pump seals.
It is in the front of the engine, inside the engine block, and ran off of the timing belt, also the factory pump has a plastic impeller that can shatter, causing the pump to seize and shred the timing belt, you should change out the water pump when the timing belt is done, which should be every 65-70 thousand miles, as the 1.8t motor has a tendancy to have alot of timing belt problems if it isn't serviced on time, and every one of them is expensive
the water pump is run by the timing belt the water pump is where the timing belt at in the motor
Yes, the water pump on a 3.5L is timing belt driven.Yes, the water pump on a 3.5L is timing belt driven.
On most engines, the water pump drive belt is also the timing belt.
If the belt is too loose or not there then yes - the water pump runs off the serpentine belt. If the belt is too loose or not there then yes - the water pump runs off the serpentine belt.
The water pump is powered by either a drive belt or serpentine belt. Follow the belt and you will locate the pump.
If the timing belt drives the water pump you should replace the belt at the same time as the pump.
That's a big job to do. The water pump is behind the timing belt. So to replace the water pump, you would have to remove the timing belt and just about everything else in front of that. I would suggest bringing it in to a shop to have it done.
the water pump is part of the timing belt or chain. you have to take the belt or chain off to change the water pump. if you change the water pump, change the belt too.
