On this episode we remove and replace a leaking water pump on this 2016 Ford Focus. Pretty straightforward repair once the water pump is freed from the housing. Thanks for watching!!
Mine just took a shit catastrophically at 62k miles. Suddenly my temp gauge skyrocketed and all my coolant decided to leave. I was a little concerned it was something more serious because i have never had a car overheat and explode so quickly and violently. Once I actually see the water pump itself I’m sure it will be way worse than this one.
I'm sure on some designs, but not typically. No issues here other than bad pump. Ended up changing a blown turbo and valve cover gasket as well on this same vehicle. They are junk
Easy placement on the water pump nice ford actually came thru
Great install! Thank you

Bought a cheap one off eBay $30 only lasted 5000 miles then the bearings came apart with the pulley causing a major leak I would go with the ome parts
Does a bad pump cause water and oil to mix ? Always thought only cracked engine or blown gaskets would do this ?

Where should I support the engine from
Right under the oil pan with a block of wood.
How many miles you had on your ST when pump failed? I am about to change mine WP at 75300…
i forget the mileage honestly. i think it was around 80k.
@@diagnosticsdoneright I just got back from the shop, old pump was just like yours...
188k till the original water pump went out but mostly freeway miles I think it’s all on how you drive it
@@fairfax_fran5109 it is my daily driver, but winters here are insane so i guess that affects lifespan of this part big time...
