Yes, like most modern vehicles, the serpentine belt runs the water pump, power steering, alternator and the air conditioning compressor.
To access the water pump in a 2002 Alero V6, you typically need to remove the serpentine belt, drain the coolant, disconnect the hoses and electrical connections, and then unbolt the water pump from the engine. It's recommended to consult a repair manual or seek the help of a professional mechanic for detailed instructions specific to your vehicle.
very big job. the water pump must be first removed. you will need a t-8 torx bit for the rotor removal and a e-4 torx socket(reverse torx) drain coolant. remove serpentine belt. you may have to take out the electric fan. I did it without removing it but it was tighter. remove hoses from water pump. disconnect coolant sensor and unclip it from top of water pump. unbolt ignition coil bracket. unbolt and move airinjection pump. remve the 2 bolts holding the air injection pump bracket. remve water pump bolts and then the pump. remove the harmonic balancer pulley keeping note of the position of the arrow on said pulley.remove plug wires. remove the dist cap. remove rotor and replace it with new one in same position. replace with new cap and then reverse steps.
I just had a water pump installed in my Capri and while they're doing that, make sure they put a new timing belt in, because if you have a 91 Turbo w/ ac, it's a 4.5 hour job because the water pump is under the engine.
On a 1997 Mercury Mountainer , 5.0 liter V8 engine : The water pump is bolted to the front of the engine , behind the engine cooling fan ( just follow the bottom radiator hose , it connects to the water pump )
The belt is typically located under the hood of a car, in the engine compartment. It is used to transfer power from the engine to various components such as the alternator, water pump, and air conditioning compressor. The specific location can vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle.
Yes the water pump is mechanical. its driven by the serpentine belt. Please visit my profile for a link to my Saturn help site for location of the water pump
The water pump on a 94 Saturn S1 is replaced by removing the serpentine belt, engine accessories, and water hoses. The pump can then be unbolted from the engine block and a new pump put in place.
On a 3.3l the water pump is driven by the serpentine belt. On a 3.0l the water pump is driven by the timing belt.
Not installed properly? operating water pump in reverse direction?
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.
Either the belt is worn and need replacing, or the idler wheel is defective, or both. It also might be a bearing in the alternator, power steering pump or water pump.
when serpentine belt breaks alternator and water pump stop working along with power steering pump
You lose the functions of your power steering pump, water pump and alternator.
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)
The water pump on a 2000 Hyundai Sonata is driven by the timing belt.
There is no Fan belt. There is a serpentine belt however. If this breaks do NOT run the car. This belt turns the water pump keeping your engine cool. You will have major issues if the engine overheats.
