I believe that the airconditioner condensation drain is plugged. How do I clear it?
Over heating
If the fluid is full, it could be as simple as the thermostat otherwise its the water pump.
Assuming you have the 2.5 engine, the water pump is driven off the timing belt.
It is a pretty good job. Get a manual fron the parts store.
use the remove timing belt instructions and it includes the water pump,"if your in there do them all !"
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.
plastic explosives,just kidding.its behind the timing belt,serious pain in the ass
You did not indicate the year your Galant 3.0L was produced. I looked up a 2001 model Galant LS 3.0L, and yes, it is an interference engine. Replace the timing belt AND water pump every 100,000 miles or kiss the valves goodbye.
To replace the water pump on a 2005 Mitsubishi Galant, first, disconnect the battery and drain the coolant. Remove the timing belt by loosening the tensioner, and then take off the timing cover to access the water pump. Remove the old water pump by unscrewing the bolts, clean the mounting surface, apply a new gasket or sealant, and install the new pump. Finally, reassemble the timing belt, timing cover, refill the coolant, and reconnect the battery.
To change the water pump on a 2002 Mitsubishi Galant, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Drain the coolant from the radiator, then remove the serpentine belt and any components obstructing access to the water pump, such as the timing belt or pulley. Unbolt the old water pump, clean the mounting surface, and install the new pump with a new gasket. Reassemble all components, refill the coolant, and run the engine to check for leaks.
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
Are you sure it's a serpentine? From the manual, a 1999 V-6 Galant should have 2 drive belts. 1 should control both the power steering and water pumps and the other is for the alternator and A/C compressor.
