Water Pump Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Acura TL and 2007 Acura TL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the timing belt (see TIMING BELT REMOVAL ).
  2. Turn the water pump pulley counterclockwise.

    Check that it turns freely. If it doesn't turn freely, replace the water pump (see WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT  ).

    NOTE: When you check the water pump pulley, you may see a small amount of "weeping" from the bleed holes (A). This is normal.
