  • When to change water pump

    Did a search with no results... Was just wondering how often the water pumps on our cars should be changed.. I'm used to doing it every 60k miles on old imports that I have owned. I would change the water pump out while changing the timing belt..

    when it leaks or the bearings go bad. no need to do it otherwise

    Remember if "the" and "and" are spelled right its not a genuine Ahuhn post

      I would agree on this one, it's usually a non-service part. I had a 04 Malibu with a 3.5 V6 and the water pump was never changed, and it was 142,000 miles and still good. On the other hand, I had my water pump fail on my 07 G6 3.9 V6, and that was only 75,000 miles, so I would say, just keep running until you have a leak.

        until you see water coming from the peep hole then or dried water around the hole you have nothing to worry about

          I had water coming out of my pee hole tonight. It was scary! Do I need to change my water pump?
