Water Pump questions

[BoEinG_747]

GMB is a good replacement brand.

There's nothing sophisticated naman sa water pump, its primarily mechanical. Buti sana kung may electronics involved which would justify the price. Yung sa Sentra ko, more than 1 year na, tahimik pa rin. Usually naman, bearings at tagas ang dahilan kung bakit pumapalya ang water pump

di ba pwede i DIY repair ito ,,baka mas makamura ang bearing at gasket lang kung kaya naman DIY?

Medyo mahal kasi labor ng pagbaba ng water pump kaya better put in a new one na lang kahit GMB.

Saka madalas puro deposits na din yung turbine at housing.

nasa magkano kaya ang price ang GMB water pump?

minsan lang nasisira ang internals ng water pump. ang palagi nasisira sa water pump ay ang mga seals. when the seals are broken already it will leak waer, kaya if may leak na ang water pump change it right away couse next in line would be the bearings of the shafting, and once ito masira sigurado standby ka sa da-an.

yes pwede DIY mag palit water pump. patience lang kailangan. common steps in replacing are:
-remove fan shroud
-remove fan belts
-remove fan (while at it check if the clutch fan needs new silicone oil)
-remove water pump
-clean water pump contact area in engine block
-apply thin coat silicon sealant/gasket maker for a tighter seal
-install paper gasket to block
-install new water pump
and re install in reverse what you have removed. just be careful of the belt tension, too tight and they will damage new pump and alternator bearings, too loose and they will slide and squeak.

have done this na on my pick-up 2 hours pwede na.

Yung sa Sentra B14, GMB is 850. Mahal nga lang ang labor (P900 sa Petron Don Antonio Commonwealth), kasi kelangan pa ng lifter. 1.5 hours din tinagal, kasi pinalamig pa ng konti tapos, andaming kinalas (pati right front wheel).

mahal talaga original nyan. nung nagpalit ako ng water pump sa lancer ko before (made with my timing belt replacement), 1100 lang ata kuha ko na replacement. nung nagtanong ako sa el dorado, asa 8k ang original.

almost two years ko ng gamit yung replacement pump ko, wala namang problema.

Use GMB na lang... If incase na mag palit ka ng timing belt palit ka na din ng water Pump... usually halos sabay sila massira... base on my experience before(Hindi kasi ako nagpalit ng Pump). dolbe gastos sa labor...
