The water pump is timing chain driven and to replace it requires serious disassembly of the engine. it is a 13 + hour job and is not for the casual mechanic

  • Anonymous Apr 13, 2009

    The engine was affected by an oil sludge problem and premature timing chain tensioner failure, which were fixed around 2002-2004. The oil sludge issue appears to have been caused by issues with the crankcase ventilation system, and while it affected a minority of engines, it could cause complete failure[1] In some cases, neglected maintenance aided in premature failure (missed oil changes or increased intervals between oil changes). It has also been stated the mileage recommendation of 6,000 in the normal operating conditions was possibly too long. Leaking oil pressure sensors could also aid in engine failure.[citation needed] It is also a poorly designed engine in the eyes of many mechanics, the water pump is located under the timing chain cover and in an oil bath, pump changing requires draining of the engine oil (which may now have water in it from pump failure) and removal of the timing chain cover, chain, and tensioner

How do i check my timing after changing water pump and timing belt.

with a timing gun, or dealer or repair shop can check for you. there are timing marks that should all line up on crank pulley, timing belt, and cams. you need a chilton or repair manual, or again call your repair shop for a diagram.

the water pump is behing a metal plate that you you would have to take off in order to look at it. if you have the 3.5 motor and are losing water then thats where it wil most likely be coming from,
