Never open, service or drain the radiator or 
cooling system when hot; serious burns can 
occur from the steam and hot coolant. Also, 
when draining engine coolant, keep in mind 
that cats and dogs are attracted to ethylene 
glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is 
left in an uncovered container or in puddles 
on the ground. This will prove fatal in suffi- 
cient quantities. Always drain coolant into a 
sealable container. Coolant should be reused 
unless it is contaminated or is several years 
old.

Many turbocharger failures are due to oil supply 
problems. Heat soak after hot shutdown can cause 
the engine oil in the turbocharger and oil lines to 
“coke.” Often the oil feed lines will become partially 
or completely blocked with hardened particles of car- 
bon, blocking oil flow. Check the oil feed pipe and oil 
return line for cloggrng. Clean these tubes well. Al- 
ways use new gaskets above and below the oil feed 
eyebolt fitting. Do not allow particles of dirt or old 
gasket material to enter the oil passage hole and that 
no portion of the new gasket blocks the passage. 
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 
2. Drain the engine oil, cooling system and re- 
move the radiator On vehicles equipped with A/C, 
remove the condenser fan assembly with the radiator. 
The EPA warns that prolonged contact with 
used engine oil may cause a number of skin 
disorders, including cancer! You should 
make every effort to minimize your exposure 
to used engine oil. Protective gloves should 
be worn when changing the oil. Wash your 
hands and any other exposed skin areas as 
soon as possible after exposure to used en- 
gine oil. Soap and water, or waterless hand 
cleaner should be used. 
Never open, service or drain the radiator or 
cooling system when hot; serious burns can 
occur from the steam and hot coolant. Also,

aligning the water pump with the water inlet pipe. 
15. Install the remaining components in the re- 
verse order of removal. 
16. Fill the system with coolant. 17. Connect the negative battery cable, run the 
vehicle until the thermostat opens and fill the radiator 
completely. 
18. Once the vehicle has cooled, recheck the 
coolant level.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 
2. Drain the engine coolant. 
Never open, service or drain the radiator or 
cooling system when hot; serious burns can 
occur from the steam and hot coolant. Also, 
when draining engine coolant, keep in mind 
that cats and dogs are attracted to ethylene 
glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is 
left in an uncovered container or in puddles 
on the ground. This will prove fatal in suffi- 
cient quantities. Always drain coolant into a 
sealable container. Coolant should be reused 
unless it is contaminated or is several years 
old. 
3. Remove the timing belt. Refer to the timing 
belt procedure in this section. 
4. If necessary, remove the alternator brace from 
the water pump. 
5. If necessary, remove the timing belt rear 
cover. 
6. Remove the water pump mounting bolts. 
7. Remove the water pump, gasket and O-ring. 
To Install: 8. Install a new O-ring on the water inlet pipe. 
Coat the O-ring with water or coolant. Do not allow 
oil or other grease to contact the O-ring. 
9. Use a new gasket and install the water pump 
to the engine block Torque the mounting bolts to 
8.7-11 ft. Ibs. (12-15 Nm). Install the alternator 
brace on the water pump. Torque the brace pivot bolt 
to 17 ft. Ibs. (24 Nm). 
10. If removed, install the timing belt rear cover. 
11. Install the timing belt. Refer to the timing belt 
procedure in this section. 
12. Install the remaining components. 
13. Refill the engine with coolant. 
14. Connect the negative battery cable, start the 
engine and check for leaks.
