Boxster 2.7 986 Water Pump removal (Looks OK)
Discussion
Hello all,
Horrid job!! - I have just left my workshop with the car still up on its stands, and everything undone, I am knackered!!!
3+ hours getting at the water pump, and particularly one bolt impossibolt I have called it. I only need to undo the spring clamp on the hose to extract what to me looks like an OK water pump.
My suspect troubles started with flashy oil light squeeky belt in traffic one morning, and expected that it could be the pump. Having had it out enough to see that all the vanes are in tact, it spins to without fuss. I am too far in not to change it, along with the belt, but what could my non overheat on the guage (90) and belt squeel be, more worrying was the flickering oil light.
Plenty of nice fresh Fully synth 5w 40 2000 miles ago at a service too?
Runs OK no horrid noises, to be honest its smooth as silk otherwise..
