Water pump leak
« on: May 15, 2005, 05:02:31 PM »
I seem to have a leak(coolant) coming from the bottom of my water pump area. I know that if the seal goes it will leak out of the little hole, but my hole is at the top and no water is visable there. Is there a hole at the bottom as well? I can't see under there, even with a mirror and it is driving me nuts.

Yep, chances are about 99.999% certain that you need to replace the water pump.

When you hold the shift key down and type 4X4 it comes out $X$. Could anything be more appropriate?

I don't know anything about the 1.6 liter engines, but if you are running a 1.3 Sami, this might be a good time to consider changing the timing belt as well (depending on the mileage and/or belt condition).

Thanks for the replies guys. BTW its a 16 valve 1.6.
I'm at 200,000 now so the belt is due. I am also going to do the valve seals. It puffs on start up.
