cost to replace the water pump in a 2002 sebring

What is the cost to replace the water pump in a 2002 sebring? The Water Pump sells for around $222 new, and reman for just around $100 or so. (Some reman's are just as good as new, and carry a warranty). The labor time guide calls for 3.4 hours to complete the job. On this vehicle, the water pump is driven by the timing belt, and it's highly recommened that the timing belt be replaced at the same time. If coolant has gotten onto the timing belt, it can harm the belt and effect it's reliability. This is a "better safe than sorry" repair, as if the belt is to break after water pump replacment, you'll have to pay for all this labor all over agian (not to mention the risk of internal engine damage due to the belt breaking!). If you choose to do this, the timing belt sells for around $86 and you will need to add another .5hr to the labor. Labor rates vary from shop to shop. For a job of this type, a "fair" labor rate can be anywhere from $85-$125 pe...

07 Toyota rav4 water pump problem

Toyota  rav4 water pump problem what would cause the water pump on a '07 rav4 V6 with 72000 miles to fail. seen others with same problem & we received recall notice for internal oil hose replacement. is this related to water pump problem? and yes, i've had regular maintenance on vehicle. i've driven toyotas since 1979, including 2 rav4's, and most with 175 - 200k before selling/trading and never had a water pump replaced in any of them. does the '07 rav4 V6 have a problem? Solution: The oil line replacement is part of the 90K recall, and has nothing to do with the water pump. They've found that a number of the oil line hoses were failing very prematurely, and making a HUGE oily mess. It is a piece of hose with about a 45 degree bend that is less than 6 inches long.   The water pump unfortunately is not considered powertrain. The engine, transmission, etc are your drive train. The waterpump is considered an accessory, much like a power stee...

petrol and engine oil are mixing

The petrol and engine oil are mixing, what could be the cause of this? fuel is mixing whit the oil already change the fuel pump Your problem is going to be an injector(s) or injector O-rings. Fuel can leak out of the solenoid of the injector into the oil, or the injector o-rings can leak into the oil also.  You will need to bypass the fuel filter, add some clean fuel in a bucket, add some fuel/oil dye to the fuel, and run the truck off of the bucket of fuel. Take the return off of the back of the head, and also run this into the same bucket, let it run for a little while off of this fuel, remove the valve cover, jake housings(if equipped) and rocker arms, take a black light, the dye will glow where the fuel is coming from. I would not rule out an injector, I have seen it more than once, but the most common is injector O-rings. You should have 3 o-rings, they should be pretty close to the same size. It is also recommended that you replace the hold-down b...

2005 Nissan Murano where is the filler plug for transfer case?

Transfer case Filler Plug Location 2005 Nissan Murano sl 3.5 front wheel drive. where is the filler plug for transfer case? If it's front wheel drive only and not AWD, you need to add CVT fluid to the transmission. I strongly recommend you get the fluid at the dealer. Transmission fluid is added through the dipstick tube. the "drain plug is 10mm hex key, filler plug is 12mm box wrench".

OBD 1605

Nissan Altima OBD code 1605 P1605 NISSAN - Automatic Transmission Communication The 1605 code for your year Altima is either due to a weak battery or a bad AT control unit. Weak battery - Faulty Transmission Control Module (TCM) - Harness is open or shorted between TCM and Engine Control Module (ECM) - Poor circuit electrical connection between TCM and ECM Here is the steps to check the system out yourself. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/105565483/1d.pdf If the transmission seems to function fine,then it is more likely to be either a weak battery or an opened or shorted communication line between the ECM and the A/T control unit? Malfunction is detected when an incorrect signal from Transmission control module (TCM) is sent to Engine Control Module (ECM). I would start by clearing the code and see if it returns. If it does, I would check the battery and the charging system voltage before replacing a control unit or getting crazy about checking wiring. Thi...

coolant over flow

Image
coolant over flow  I just filled  coolant over flow area all the way up, Now what to do? Solution: Its ok that you filled it up. If the engine is low it will take some of the antifreeze out of the overflow as needed. You may see some on the ground because when the engine cools it can put it back into the overflow. You aren't going to damage anything by doing this. If it still concerns you, you can adjust the level by using a turkey baster to pull some of the extra out of the overflow. Coolant Temperature Sensor Operation: This sensor monitors the temperature of the engine and sends that information to the engine control computer to regulate the amount of fuel needed. More fuel is needed if the engine is cold; less if it's hot. If the temperature is extreme, the signal will be sent to the temperature gauge as a visual indicator of overheating and imminent danger. Inspect the sensor's wires and connections. ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor ...
