Self-replacement of the pump on a VAZ 2110 (8 valves)
- Place the car on a viewing hole or overpass.
- Open the hood, turn off the power by removing the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.
- Open the expansion tank cap.
- Go down into the pit, place a wide-necked container (at least 5 liters) under the cylinder block.
- Unscrew the coolant drain plug (key 13) and drain it. Screw the drain plug back.
- Unscrew the 3 bolts securing the timing case (10mm wrench).
- Remove the cover.
- Set the crankshaft to the top dead center position of the first cylinder. To do this, turn off the gear and turn the bolt securing the generator pulley with a 19mm wrench until the mark on the camshaft gear matches the mark on the rear timing case.
- Check the alignment of the marks on the flywheel and clutch housing. To do this, remove the rubber plug on the crankcase to the right of the cylinder block.
- Secure the crankshaft in this position by inserting a large slotted screwdriver into the flywheel teeth.
- Loosen the nut securing the tension roller (17 wrench) and turn it counterclockwise with a special wrench, loosening the tension of the timing belt.
- Remove the belt and tension roller.
- Unscrew the 5 bolts securing the lower timing case, incl. and 3 bolts securing the pump (head or end cap 10). Remove the cover.
- Using a screwdriver, pry the pump housing and pull it out. Clean the surface of the seat from fragments of the old gasket.
- Lubricate the gasket on both sides with automotive sealant and place it on the new pump housing.
- Install the new pump into place.
- Carry out assembly work in reverse order. It will be better if you replace both the belt and the tension roller along with the pump. This way you will know exactly the resource of all these parts.
- When installing the timing belt, check its tension by turning one of its fields horizontally. The correct tension is one at which the belt can be rotated by finger force no more than 90 degrees.
Installation of an additional pump
To install an additional pump, you need to do the following:
- Coolant is drained from the cooling system.
- A part of the outlet pipe of the stove is cut out, equal to the length of the pump without taking into account the fittings.
- The fittings are coated with sealant, the hoses are put on and secured with clamps.
- To attach the pump to the body, use a special bracket that wraps around the pump and is attached to the body with two self-tapping screws. You can make such fasteners yourself or purchase them in a store. The bracket can also be attached to suitable studs on vehicle components.
- To control the pump, a button is installed in the cabin that supplies power from the positive terminal of the battery. In this case, it is advisable to supply voltage through a relay.
The additional pump cuts into the return pipe of the stove and is secured using a special bracket. After installing the additional pump, antifreeze is poured into the system. After starting the engine, check the pump and pipes for leaks and test the operation of the new device.
Service life of a water pump in a car
The pump is designed for the same service life as the timing system elements. If the manual for your car states that the timing belt should be changed once every 80,000 kilometers or every 8 years, then the pump should be changed according to this schedule.
But there are several reasons for earlier failure of a car pump:
- low quality of spare parts - you installed non-original parts during the last pump replacement;
- low-quality antifreeze in the system - the liquid corrodes the seals and leads to leaks;
- mechanical damage - under any impact, the water pump may jam;
- solid inclusions in antifreeze - in this case, the pump will be damaged from the inside.
Also, another reason for early failure of the pump on a car will be improper installation. For example, during installation the technician did not take into account the requirements for the tightening torque of the bolts and overtightened the pump. Because of this, its body began to move somewhat, the mechanism could not operate in normal modes and failed.
Disassembling the pump
The pump is disassembled in the following sequence:
- The removed pump is wiped with a dry cloth.
- Using a special puller, the pulley is removed.
- The bearings are knocked off the shaft with a hammer.
- The shaft is removed from the pump housing.
- The impeller is removed.
- The oil seal or what is left of it is removed.
- The insides are thoroughly washed and cleaned.
If the pump is leaking, the seal must be replaced. The cause of a whistle at high speeds is usually a strong shaft wear.
What else needs to be changed along with the pump?
Usually, when replacing the pump, the timing belt with rollers and tensioner should also be replaced. If the timing chain drive is chain driven, you should carefully inspect the chain for stretching. Pumps often fail at the moment when the life of the timing mechanisms is already completed.
If a belt breaks or the timing chain stretches and jumps, many engines will require repair of the cylinder head, which will be a very expensive undertaking. Therefore, when replacing the pump, you should carefully examine the timing system and, if necessary, replace components. Moreover, the entire mechanism will be disassembled.
