 HELP changing '96 ti WATER PUMP
HELLO EVERYONE. I'M NEW TO THE FORUM SO THANKS IN ADVANCE. I HAVE A 96 5 SPEED STOCK TI WITH 212K MILES. I LOVE IT. I'M NEW TO THE TI, BUT NOT TO BIMMERS. CAN ANYONE WALK ME THROUGH CHANGING THE WATER PUMP STEP BY STEP? I BOUGHT A NEW OE PUMP WITH METAL IMPELLER. CAR STARTED OVERHEATING RECENTLY AND HEATER WON'T BLOW HOT. NOT SURE IF IT'S WATER PUMP, BUT THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO DO ANYHOW WITH THE MILEAGE AND LIKELY THE OLDER PLASTIC IMPELLER KIND IN THE CAR. ANY APECIAL TIPS TO DOING THIS INSTALL AND IS THERE A BLEED/PURGE SEQUENCE FOR THE COOLANT ONCE I HAVE INSTALLED THE NEW WATER PUMP? SORRY FOR ALL THE QUESTIONS. THIS FORUM IS VERY HELPFUL!!! THANKS VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP. AARON |
