  • The water pump on my wife's van started making horrible noise and I'm pretty confident that the water pump is the culprit. Today we are going to replace the water pump, tensioner, and serpentine belt. Follow along as I take you step by step. This is not an "easy" job, but with some hand tools and some mechanical know-how, you can do this and save hundreds! $$$

    Spot on brother. I would have done the same thing. I might have gone one step farther and replaced the other belt and tensioner. apart from that you did the job like a pro.

    How many screws have de water pump 7 or 8 ?

    That final piece you put on after the actual water pump itself and the belt, the manifold. Is there no seal between that and the engine? Or is the one that was already on there still good to reuse usually?

    • @copenhagenblue8417
      @copenhagenblue8417  4 місяці тому

      If you know you’re going to do the job, I would recommend getting a new one. I reused it because it was still in good shape, but I think I got lucky that it was at 126,000 miles still reusable. I’d recommend replacing all O-rings if you can. Thanks for watching.

    Please some help, do I have to remove the tensioner if want to remove out the water pump?, I have take out 7 screws I'm able to move water pump but not able to take out it looks like there are one o more screws somewhere, do I have to remove tensioner to take out water pump?, thank you for you help, GOD bless you.

      You do not have to remove the tensioner to replace the water pump. I honestly don't remember how many bolts there are sorry, but I believe it is around 8.

      No, I did not replace the thermostat. If it was something I had to remove to do the job I would have. Thermostat has never given me any issues, knock on wood. Lol.

      I’m not sure, I would assume that a dealership would charge no less than 1.5 hours for replacement. Thanks for watching!

      The only thing that I can think of is that something was unplugged during the procedure that is effecting the van. I would check all the sensors that are up in that area. Throttle position sensor, cam sensors, MAF sensors, ect. Something is unplugged that sends a signal to the car that is needs. Start there or I should say, work backwards from doing the job and check all your connections. Good Luck! I hope you figure it out.

      The worst thing was just the space to get to it on the van. I bet in a mustang or something with space, it's a 45 min job for sure. Thanks for watching!
