Hello,

I noticed a leak in my water pump. The liquid comes out of the small hole below on the pump body.
I think to disassemble it but do not really know what is the purpose of this hole and why all of a sudden the liquid comes out ...

Thank you in advance for your comments on this problem.

If coolant is coming out of the weep hole just replace the pump.

Thank you for your answers .
So the pump is HS? This is not a story of seal or pump plugged?
I will buy a water pump, brand adelco on rockauto what do you think?

Thanks again
Mike

How much coolant is in the circuit?
This will help me when the water is returned ...
Is there a bleed screw on the circuit to chase the air?
Thank you

The pump is worn out; simply replace it. Buy a new, original equipment replacement if possible.

Mike69

Ok thanks, on which site can I find original parts?

Hello,
I found for the quantity, 16.6 quarts it is 20 liters in France,
Ouah it changes our small French cars ...

The REASON w-pumps incorporate "weep holes" is to give the leaking fluid a place to go, when the shaft seal fails. Otherwise, the fluid would be forced into the outer shaft bearing, causing rapid, catastrophic failure.

Thank you for the explanation, it's clear and precise. I understand why there is a leak ...

Hi,
So I have disassembled my water pump this afternoon,on the other hand i removed only 10 liters (about 2 gallons instead of 4 I think) but I see that the ducts behind the pump are still full so the rest must be in the engine block. Anyway the liquid was clean more radiator should not be very old I feel that it has been changed so the cooling circuit had to be followed before.
More than waiting for the new pump ...
Thanks for your help

Change your belt while you have it off. Check both radiator hoses for wear. It’s shouldnt cost much more to replace them and you won’t have to worry about them later.

Hi
So water pump changed impeccable but I have only one fan on 2 turns to trigger apparently there is one that is not powered ...
No 12v on the connector
Do they rotate at the same time or one after the other?
Thank you

2nd fan works with the air conditioner. There should be something plugged into it. It’s supposed to come on at higher temps.

Mike69

This is what I had understood with the Technical Review it is used for air conditioning.
Otherwise as my air conditioning does not work is it that I can couple the 2 fans for better cooling?

Yes oem most definitely. I purchased a autozone duralast one and it wouldn't fit. Had to grind it down on the left side and right.

Hello,
Do you think it is possible to couple the 2 fans for better cooling as my air conditioning does not work?
In this period of heat, as soon as I am idling, the temperature rises high enough and quickly enough.

Thanks for your advices .
