premo-s12 Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 i hear these pumps crap out pretty quickly. any input on that? only reason i ask is my temps are starting to get higher then normal (not in the red, but 2/3's of the way over). i havent looked into it and i know it could be heaps of things, but i was just curious if thats true..

mtcookson Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I've never heard of them dying all that quick but I've had to replace a few myself in the past. On my 91 Maxima the water pump died at around 100k miles but I'm not sure if it had ever been replaced. Best way to check is if there is coolant coming out of the little hole. Another way is to check for a little play or just spin it to see what kind of resistance there is. There should be a little bit of resistance when spinning it.

premo-s12 Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 yea, ive replaced enough of them to know the signs, i was more or less just wondering if this rumour was tru or not.. no biggie. i think the engine has somewhere around 80ish, but it gets driven REALLY hard on a daily basis lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtcookson Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Ahhh, ok. Yeah, I've not really heard of them being a problem though I'm mostly a fwd VG guy coming from the Maxima and haven't been into the rwd VG's much yet... only started a month ago or so actually.
