DESCRIPTION
There is a concern that some water pumps are being replaced that are not faulty, due to signs of a very small coolant leak from the bleed hole. This Service Bulletin is to inform you about the water pump sealing mechanism and the criteria if replacement is necessary or not.
| Normal Water Pump coolant seepage | |
 |
 |
A mechanical seal (A) is used for the water pump. This mechanical seal can seal coolant (B) by sliding a mating ring (C) against a seal ring (D). When the sliding surface temperature of the mechanical seal is more than 248 °F (120 °C) while driving, a small amount of steam (E) is leaked and bleeds through the bleeding hole (F). After drying, the steam leaves a green coolant deposit near the water pump bleed hole (F). This is a normal condition and does not require water pump replacement. The water pump should only be replaced if there is an accumulation of crystallized coolant near the bleed hole.
| Bleed hole (F) is located under water pump | Dried coolant steam shows as green-color deposit at bleed hole. |
 |
 |
| Water Pump Samples: | |
|
GOOD No accumulation of crystallized coolant. DO NOT replace the water pump. |
NG Accumulation of crystallized coolant near the bleed hole (F). Replace the water pump. |
