Removal/refitting

The water pump is of the centrifugal blade type. The pump body is made of aluminium alloy and the impeller of phenolic resin.

The pump is fixed to the engine block and actuated through a Poly-V drive belt by the crankshaft. A gasket seals the joint between the engine block and the pump. The water pump operates constantly thus guaranteeing the continual circulation of the coolant.

• Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
• Drain off the hydraulic fluid (see relative paragraph)
• Remove the power steering pump-water pump drive belt (see GROUP 00).
