Hi Guys,
I think my water pump is going. it just started making this squealing noise yesterday. I was wondering if anyone has changed theirs before and what is involved in doing it. any replies would be appreciated. thanks. -------------------- 3sgteing.

Ele, havent seen you in here in awhile. I would recommend you use toyota parts only. Anything else is NO DICE!! I believe toyota sells the water pump assembly too, that comes with the coolant neck instead of just the water pump. It makes things soo much easier. Easiest way get some zip ties and zip tie the timing belt to the Cam gears so you won't lose where it goes. Loosen timing belt and remove water pump. Done this process a million times because of leaking from the NAPA water pump on the 5sgte build. Learned from that mistake '
So hows Michigan treating you? -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer
94 Celica st black DD (bad weather beater)- totaled deer 95 Celica gt silver- chassis sold 88 Celica All-Trac (Burned to a crisp) 94 Celica gt white (sold) In need of a rust free chassis!!!! |

Thanks Will, I might just get the whole assembly. I always use toyota parts. Michigan is not bad, will be done here in the summer!! Don't know where to next, maybe public health or armed forces? I'm seriously considering the 3rd gen, but this 2nd gen engine has been good to me even after a good 110,000miles since the swap, it still runs strong, so i'm kinda undecided. But I feel like rewarding myself after 3 gruesome years of training, with a 3rd gen. Anyway I will let you guys know how the pump replacement goes. Thanks -------------------- 3sgteing.
