U13 Water Pump weeping
« on: Jul 11, 2007, 06:54PM »
Hey guys, anybody ever have trouble with a weeping water pump? Does that mean its on the way out? Are they difficult to replace? The engine is a KA24 so nothing outragious. Where is a good place to source a water pump in Melbourne. Cheers Steve.

Weeping means its stuffed. Replace it.
Your car may be able to go faster.
But I can go any where. except into a garage, underground carpark, bridge...

2 sticks and manual locking hubs. have to get out to drive it around
Good old Nissan.

KA's are the shit. According to all the info on the site, they are better then sliced bread and thats saying something.

Agree with Dave. It's stuffed.
Replace it quickly incase the leak gets worse. You don't want a cracked head too, which can happen if you lose too much coolant in a short period of time without noticing....

Thanks for the heads up I replaced the pump. Got it from local Nissan dealer. It was $15 cheaper than from ebay or discount part supplier.
