  • Coolant water pump is defective on the Porsche 911 997 2005. The water pump is leaking, it needs a replacement. The bearing and seal failed. Need to remove air filter housing, belt, Loosen the engine support, drain the cooling system, refill the cooling system.
    We have monitored the coolant temp with the Bluedriver to make sure it was not overheating.
    The previous install they have use RTV sealant and it looks like it clogged the heater core. We will do a coolant flush later hoping it will fix the heating problem. The bolt and housing were full of this RTV Sealant. We have cleaned everything.

    Great video. But if you’re going to flush your system you’re better off with distilled water. Also use the Porsche coolant.

      Yes, I do have distilled water for it. Using Zerex G-40 coolant.

    if you loosen the both side rear engine mounting bottom nuts a little, then the mounting plate can move back much easier.

    Wouldn’t it be helpful to loosen the two engine mounts up top and lower the engine few cm?

      @@JoshLoberant not much. The only location it was in the way it was for the rear support nuts and we manage with a wrench instead of a socket. The little extra time was less than the time to remove the pipes. Have a look at our latest video. We are removing the engine out of the Camaro Z28 to upgrade the powertrain.
