Pontiac Fiero Water Pump
Pontiac Fiero automobiles have a hosing system known as Water Pump that circulates coolant through the water jacket of the engine to absorb heat produced by the combustion process. This refers to the procedure of transferring coolant from the engine to the radiator with a view of losing heat into the air. While from the beginning Fiero featured belt-driven water pumps, the latest applications turn to electric pumps, which provide such benefits as minimized frictional loss and adaptive flow depending upon the engine temperature. The pump heads used in Fiero cars have undergone some changes in the course of time and the types are as follows They had originally used cast iron water pumps, but later changed to more light weight aluminum castings. There are standard water pumps also in options that have improved impellers & internal passages for a much greater rate of coolant circulation, for street & race use. These performance options not only optimise the cooling effect but also reduce the power draw, more hp to the wheels. Electrical pumps are even more versatile and can be easily installed and operated, hence preferred especially in personal built systems.
Each OEM Pontiac Fiero Water Pump we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Pontiac Fiero Water Pump Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and install a water pump in Pontiac Fiero?A: To get rid of a four-cylinder engine, starting by undoing the cable from the negative battery terminal and removing the coolant. Then, take off the water pump belt as well as lower radiator hose at pump support bracket. After that, remove bolts holding water pump and take it out of engine compartment. When fitting new water pump, clean its gasket surface on pump support bracket and apply RTV sealant around the mounting flange of a new water pump. Mount the water pump onto this housing and tighten down these bolts to specified torque. Attach lower radiator hose, install drivebelt for water pump and tension it accordingly. Finally, fill cooling system with fresh coolant while attaching negative terminal of battery then start engine observing for any leakage coming from coolant system. For V6 engine removals begin by taking off right side louvered cover over engine compartment disconnect negative battery cable. Remove plastic shield over battery and drain cooling system. And then unfasten r nut that secures wiring harness to junction block behind battery; remove EGR solenoid vacuum valve along with bracket as one assembly unit. Loosen right rear wheel lug nuts; lift rear of vehicle and remove right rear wheel. Loosen alternator adjusting bolts (two) and remove drivebelt. Carrying on further when you unscrew all eight M8 × 1.25×50 mm flange screws on top of cylinder head cover, you will see that there were also those two M10 ×1 .5×80 mm bored blind holes in your casting near each front corner where cylinder head cover was bolted in place on your cylinder block before; now they are plugged. The reason why it is possible to use TSB's for production vehicles is because they involve problems that areredesigns because they were produced incorrectly. Next the nuts and water pump bolts are removed. Lower vehicle and remove top of water pump. For changing worn water pump, clear mating surface on block and apply RTV to the new water pump mating surface. After that put it in position, raise vehicle and install them. Then tighten them to manufacturer's specifications. Rest of installation is opposite of removal procedure. Finally, start engine with fresh antifreeze mixture from drainage system; allow a normal operating temperature for engine before checking for coolant leaks.
- Q: What are the ways to check the operation of a water pump while it is still installed on the engine for Pontiac Fiero?A: A failure in the water pump can cause overheating and serious engine damage because a defective pump will not circulate coolant through the engine. There are three ways to check the operation of the water pump while it is still installed on the engine. If any of the following checks indicate that the pump is defective, replaced it with either a new or rebuilt unit. Squeeze the upper radiator hose while the engine is running at normal operating temperature. If the water pump is working properly, a pressure surge will be felt as the hose is released. The water pump is equipped with a "weep" (vent) hole. If the pump seal fails, small amounts of coolant will leak through the weep hole. You will need to get underneath the water pump to see the weep hole, so raise the vehicle and place it on jackstands. Use a flashlight or a drop light to help you determine whether there is evidence of leakage from the weep hole. If the water pump shaft bearing fails, it will usually emit a squealing sound while it is running. Do not confuse drivebelt slippage, which also makes a squealing sound, with water pump bearing failure. Even before the bearing actually fails, shaft wear can be detected by grasping the pulley firmly and moving it up and down. If excessive side play is noted, the shaft or the bearing are worn and the pump should be replaced.
