So the wife went out in the car last night. She calls me telling me the car is overheating sitting in traffic.

I have a 96 honda accord v6 ex.

By the time she got home it was too late to work on it.

Since I have a v6.

I was looking at majestic honda to see about the water pump.

Is this the same as the 4 cyl where I have to do a timing belt change as well or is it like the picture shows that the water pump is on the back of the engine.

Thanks.

 

If you are changing the T-belt anyway, sure go ahead and do the water pump;[good time to change T-stat]
However, you should find out the reason for the overheating.
Such as be sure the cooling fans cycle and the T-stat is opening.

The one-eyed mechanic says "the car is low on coolant"
The two-eyed TECHNICIAN says "Why is the car low on coolant?"

 

it is giving the same conditions as my rex which was the water pump.

So I'm gonna check it out tonight when i get home.
