okay so i was driving and heard like a weird noise coming from like the alternator area. so i took my car for a test drive and i thought if i punch it maybe it will go away. but as soon as i pull into my driveway a bunch off coolant starts leaking its coming from like the drivers side of the engine. it just like goes in and 5 seconds later the whole thing just pores out. idk what could it be, any suggestions thanxxx????
engine is a D16a6

 

Your water pump is located in the region of the motor. its behind the motor mound and runs of your timing belt. i would fix it ASAP OR YOU WILL WARP/CRACK/YOUR HEAD AND BLOW YOUR HEADGASKET ALONG WITH MANY OTHER DAMAGES.

 

Yeah most likely the water pump. Why would "punching it" fix any problems?

 

okay thanxx. idk i figured maybe some rock or something got stuck somewhere cuz i never heard that noise. but how do i remove the water pump.

 

search.

it's located behind the timing belt cover

 

okay i know where its at now. but should i replace it my self with very little Tech skills or leave it to a pro is my real question???

 

mechanic man...

 

okay how much u think they will charge me to replace the water pump all together???

 

for timing belt and waterpump atleast a few hundred dollars

 

or if your close by me if you buy the parts id do it for 75 bucks and it wouldnt take me but maybe a day

 

yea even if you have the mechanic skills its more of a bitch than anything so i would prob want to pay someone if i had the cash. i have d series pump for sale 45 bucks i live in Gainesville GA

 

its not too hard just dont move anything after the timing belt is off, but im kinda famous for breaking the timing cover off, and i really dont care how much crap i take for saying that

 

yehh 120 bucks is how much a shop is charging me plus parts. i think imma take just take it there. i need it done today for school tomorrow.

 

120 is super cheap. My friend brought his (the T word.... eerrr) TOYOTA [SUV] into a shop and they charged $400 for replacement of alternator + they told him he needs new water pump and since they were "already in the engine at the time" they'd "only" charge $180 extra to do it.


When I found out I about **** myself.

I'm never bring ANYTHING to that shop.

 

..........Epic fail

........Do not ask someone to pay you to do a job and then say that you will break something in the process........fail

 

Lol, very true, didn't even acknowledge what he said. Ya that timing belt cover is a pain in the ***.
