Taking a stab at replacing the water pump on a 2006 Chrysler Town and Country. Video is for entertainment only and not intended to provide accurate repair instructions. Please consult a qualified mechanic.
I love all the hater comments on here they kind of crack me up the thing about the water pump is it is not exactly rocket science and this guy was very honest that he is not a professional but his video happens to be helpful for other amateurs as well
I replaced my belt, tensioner and idler about a month ago. Flushed the coolant a month prior and now the pump is leaking to the point the radiator doesn't top off. The leak is around the water pump so going to give it a try and see if it fixes it.
I have a question. My mechanic has replaced the water pump 2 times. They both started leaking from the drainage (small hole in water pump) any idea why the water pumps go bad?
I’m no expert. I think it’s the internal seals for the pump to go bad and leak. But two going bad seems like something else might be going on. Thanks for reaching out!
Hey man I got an issue you might be able to help me figure out I hope you get this long story short I hired a mobile mechanic to come out and replace the water pump in my 2002 Town and Country well the little s*** broke four bolts off in the block and then quit so now I've got for broken bolts in a non-running van and the money to hire somebody else any ideas on how I can do it myself
@@samvore2963 the water pump doesn't move with the wheel. Loosening the three bolts like she mentions in the video allowed us to lower the engine slightly to get the new one in. Now we struggle with tightening the far back volt of the water pump.
Did my water pump on the same year and model and that pump didnt have the clearants you had ...so i use my port a power...fucked up deal for me...gotter done
Pretty sure they didn't realize you were fixing a water pump!!! Untill you did.!!! The internet always tells you right.... right!!??? Always trust the internet if your professional mechanics people!!!! Lmfao...… What a joke!!!!!!!!!

Small pipe wrench for tensioner with breaker bar for leverage
I like the beard man. And great job on doing this job
Same thing happened to me. Changed the belt and tube connected to water pump and 2 days later water pump goes out.
U need to drop the motor down to get the pump out
You should burp the coolant system for air bubbles after refilling

Cool
No advantage to pulling the inner fender panel off, it does not allow more access...
Nice truck bro
Gotta have your coffee

That's beyond my knowledge. So sorry to hear that.
No matter how much I wiggle, I can't get the water pump out. It won't clear the side of the van. Any tips?
Turn the wheels to add slightly more clearance?
