Water leakage was discovered before the year, and they all carried a bucket of antifreeze in the trunk, ready to replenish it at any time. I still went to replace the water pump after the New Year. Bring your own accessories and find an acquaintance to exchange them for. The working hour fee will be 300 (the price is not low, 100 higher than expected

During replacement, it was found that the water pump pulley had a crack and decided to replace it. I sent a pulley and two buckets of antifreeze from my acquaintance A Miao’s home. The next day, the little master said that the generator belt was cracked. I said, why didn’t you say so earlier, otherwise we would have replaced it together. You have to be careful to repair the car!
Burning oil, the two air outlets are very black
Visually inspect there is a layer of carbon deposit
The integrity of the site is not bad, except that the outer surface of the middle section of the exhaust pipe is obviously corroded.
There is obviously a gap in the original vehicle water pump. The new water pump does not have this gap.
These are the three holes on the outer end of the water pump that connect to the pulley. (The water pump of this car is not directly connected to the belt)
The removed mechanical water pump
The gasket is obviously damaged, and it is leaking here. After starting, the internal pressure is high and water leaks to the outside.
The outer layer of the water pump pulley is a layer of rubber. It cracked.
The pulley is also a large iron disk (covered with a layer of rubber to increase friction)
This is the new, Gates brand.
Gates pulley. It doesn’t matter if there are scratches but it does not affect the use.
The electronic handbrake is this cord
There is a plastic guard plate under the rear axle, and the workmanship is OK
Rust of middle section exhaust pipe
The anti-collision beam that was rear-ended and replaced later was less than a year old and was a little rusty. It seemed that the quality was not good.
I replaced the air filter element. This is the lid of the filter element box
The removed filter element was a little dirty. After looking at the reverse side carefully, it was not bad, not too dirty.
After changing the water pump, observe at idle speed. Until the big cycle opens.
new water pump
new water pump
The water pump of the original vehicle was obviously chipped, and the gasket broke from the chipped, causing water leakage. The new water pump should be improved.
Working hard…
Overall, this car does have many problems. The main thing is to burn oil. This is a 1.6t engine. Difficult to treat, troublesome. It is recommended that friends with small kilometers add more additives to prevent it!
