2005 Toyota MR2 Spyder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the water pump on 2005 Toyota MR2 Spyder?

  A: Engine coolant drain followed by drive belt removal is the first step when servicing or repairing the water pump. The next step involves water pump removal by extracting its 6 bolts and both the component and gasket while clearing engine coolant from the water chamber room. Maintenance of the RH engine mounting bracket and generator should be avoided when you perform a water pump replacement. The water pump inspection should involve checking the drain hole directly for coolant leak signs and the water pump needs replacement if leakage occurs. Apply a new O-ring on the timing chain cover then install the water pump by using the 6 bolts while tightening Bolt A to 9 Nm and Bolt B to 11 Nm following the illustration's specified bolt length. Complete installation of the water pump requires drive belt reinstallation followed by engine coolant filling before starting the engine and performing leak inspections. Recheck the engine coolant level afterwards.
