steve c Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I have been reading similar threads on water pump problems. Is there any advice out there, I am living 1100 metres altitude and am scared of freezing my landy, water leakingout and cannot keep pouring in buckets of anti freeze, need to go to Landrover tomorrow if cant get advise, dont want to get stung for megabucks if I can solve it myself. Sorry to be stupid but I'm assuming its the water pump, (td5) There is a removable cover with 5 bolts, to which a flexible water pipe is attached, inside the cover is a metal fanned spinny thing (technical description) with a rubber seal in between cover. Vehicle makes an intermittent whirling / squealing noise and water gushes out down engine block, appears to come from little round hole on 'the pump', very difficult to see exactly where it comes from. Is pump knackered?Does seal need replacing? Can anyone help me please Edit/Delete Message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 New water pump time, Steve. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan9090 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 i agree with Mo, if there is water coming out of the little hole then the internal seal has gone and its new water pump time. i did mine a couple of months back, wasnt a Td5 but was a real easy job once youd taken the bits off to get to the pump. wasnt expensive either but as i say, that wasnt a Td5. good luck. p.s: dont forget gasket.

steve c Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Thanks guys, I suspected as much, its fairly straightforward replacing the pump, the only bit Ive had out so far is the cover at the back with the rubber hose attached, is there anything I need to know, or not do? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Steve, had a fish around in Rave and the microcat parts software, there is an O ring set available which might be your first port of call. if you need any other part numbers just shout.

steve c Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Wow, thanks for that great info. Because I have not had the pump out yet, I dont know what state it is inside, the first seal on the cover side is perished, but I cant imagine how that would cause the water to come out though the pee hole. The squealing noise doesnt suggest its in good nick. If I bought a new pump, would it include the cover and seals etc? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 looking at my parts info you would need the pump err6505, cover err7047 & the O ring kit pfq10001L, it's not shown or part number listed as a full one piece assembly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
