Subject: Re: 1984 Water Pump by scooter18155 on 2008/3/14 3:27:49 my general rule is if I'm uncertain how long its been on there it'll stay on until it either goes bad or it had to come off for some reason. If it comes off a new one goes on unless it has been previously been taken care of. am i saying to replace an air filter every time you take the air cleaner off to do some cleaning or whatever the reason. No you should be able to know or tell when you need to replace it. but If in the process of fixing that oil leak in your timing chain cover you pull the water pump and realize its the same water pump in the car sense you owned the car and have no idea how old it is then id say replace it flush the system while your at it and maybe even go a lil further with a thermostat. It might be an extra $100 spent but it could be the difference between getting stranded and making it home a few months down the road and having to do the job anyways. Dont forget doing the water pump 2 or 3 times within a cpl months because you wanted to put off spending a lil $ on new parts will make things even more expensive in the end as you have to replace coolent everytime. Seems that stuff gets more expensive everytime i walk into a store. |
