I am 04 owner stumped. Never had flow issues until 2 weeks ago water pump started leaking obd2 showed temperature getting to 201 then would get back down to 184 to 190. Once air got in the line from the leaking water pump had the over heat. Thats when I actually knew if the leak saw the slow drip from the weep hole. Just replaced it. No drip filled and bled. Did first warm up temp acted funny stay 135 for like 8 minutes and no heat inside. Then it jumped to 212 and stayed flat for another 3 minutes I shut it off not going to test drive yet. Checked hoses super hard and now I'm thinking there's a restriction maybe that caused the pump failure? I drained almost 3 gallons of fluid. Now I wish I disconnect the bottom radiator hose instead of doing just the bottom bolt on the pump to have less mess. Maybe like u mentioned about the sensor having corrosion or a clog which is weird I used straight distilled water in the summer and water wetter with no issues. And just changed over to factory coolant for winter. I also had the water vacated by machine before installing coolant. So I guess there a possibility of a clog I just hope not and if so hope its not the heater core. I prefer radiatpr.
This is an awesome video. You are very familiar with this engine. Thank you very much. Thanks to you I was able to replace my radiator and water pump. I have a question, after I installed the water pump i see a leak in the timing cover behind the right bottom of the water pump where one of the longer bolts is. I used some RTV but now I am just concern and thinking if it is the bolt with not enough RTV or if it is the timing cover gasket. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
When was the pump installed these engines run really hot sometimes the pump shaft seal goes bad and leaks at the weeping hole from the pump verify that its not coming from that hole on the pump to do so you will need to take off fan and pulley off
Most helpful video for this I’ve found yet
Thank you sir thanxs for the support more videos coming on the landy
