Background
Load variations in the belt circuit can cause the water pump pulley to crack at the hub center. As a result, the multigroove belt will jump off of the pulley
and driving of the generator, power steering servo pump and water pump will cease.
The new water pump has a press-fit pulley with yellow identification marking (A), see illustration.
