I'm glad you posted this video because so far it's the only one I could find on YouTube that features the 2.0L Zeteck.

Thanks a lot for this Brian, I've just done the job on my UK, right hand drive ST170, the layout was identical. I didn't bother taking the crank pulley off, still got the old pump out and the new one in fine. It took me about 4 hours just working on a driveway with the car on axle stands. The hardest bit was getting the belt back on!

That's was the easiest way I've seen to do this!!! Very in formative!! And I learned something I didn't know! A new and much easier way to replace the water pump!

I am getting ready to do this on a Ford Focus ZTS 2004 2.3 LT, changing the water pump and serpentine belt !!

[NickBEADG]

loosen the 3 bolts before removing the belt. the belt holds the pulley still.

Gut gemacht Brian...ich werde es auch versuchen bei einem Focus 1, 6 Zetec 2000 350000km ;-)
Thanks a lot

Thanks for the video! I don't want to critique but instead of taking off the timing pulley once you take off the motor mount and lowered the engine a tad the water pump pulley will fall right out. I think you only took off that pulley because maybe you didn't know you were going to have to take off the motor mount anyways, or at least that's what I'm thinking. Either way great video, thank you for taking the time to make it.

I did mine too but didn't need to takecoff the cranking pulley. I did mine before I had access to YouTube and my repair manual didn't say you had to lower the engine to make room for the pump to clearthe frame rail, lol! I had to figure that out on my own.

Great vid, doing this my first time and just wondering if it matters that I line up the notches on the pulley cranks to the 12 o'clock position. One guy in a video did that but this way is much more efficient. Only reason I ask is he said it will damage the car if you don't. Thank you

Looks like water pumps leaking on my st170 some good information here thanks

[jorgeuribe]

the water pump pulley on my car is stock, it doesn't want to come off and I don't want to pry it off maybe it would bent, what can I do?

[AndreasJonas]

Can i do this without a lifting platform?

[TACOPOTENTE]

I am still unable to remove the water pump does the battery need to be installed? Should there be any power running to the engine so that it unlatch whatever is holding this thing in?

[evullilbrat]

Should I pre drain the fluid first so it won't rush out when I take the pump off

[karloklil]

Thw worker change water pomp
But I affried he put timing belt wrong
What I can do??

[TACOPOTENTE]

Water pump has three screws they are off I’m getting some play however the old pump won’t just come out any suggestions?!

[marcpuystiens]

Back again. Yesterday i got my new waterpump and after many looks at your video today i started to do it myself,  but, how did you loosen up you cranck pulley bolt? It doesnt move a bit. Use WD40, blocked it, use a long metal tube to get more force. bussy for the whole day on that stupid Pulley. It is 19.00h and starting to get desperate... :(

[blass]

To install the water pump I’ll need to use silicone??

[serieusmoat]

Is that a diesel car? Guess it is the same as a 2002 1.8 tdci 115hp. First time i gona do this. Very great video, really.
