Water pump renovated

Tip!

Check the condition of all radiator hoses when replacing the water pump.
The thermostat is an important part of the cooling system, in what condition is yours?
What is the condition of the fan belts?
Do not tighten the fan belts too tightly as you will destroy the water pump bearing.
Change the coolant every 5 years, the rust protection becomes worse with old coolant. You should have a mixture of 50-60% glycol and you raise the boiling point, then you also have good rust protection. Many engines and water pumps rust from the inside just because you try to save on the glycol, and not least you avoid a frozen engine block. The garage where the car is parked over the winter can be without electricity and heat. Every spring we get phone calls from customers with frozen engine blocks.

Be careful when greasing your water pump in the grease nipple, it is very common to break the seals with too much grease.
