Well I learned two useful things on that video. 1) The gasket spray - very useful. 2) The method of putting the belt on - ingenious! Thanks for making the video.
as you take the bolts out, put them in your new water pump so you keep track of the size and position. when you get the old pump out, transfer the bolts from the new one to the old one.
Great video. Especially the part about putting the new belt back on. I myself since I have large hands would have removed the battery in order to give myself that much more room to work with, even if it's just an inch or two.
Car overheated, found my water-pump belt had broke and water-pump seized. Followed this exact video for my 2005 Mazda MPV and works perfect. Great video, thank you for posting it. Easiest water-pump I ever replaced.
Book time is what MOST shops use to determine the charge for time on any job. It is based loosely on warranty time from the manufacture. As for the water pump design, this is a FORD, but they have reduce weight to increase fuel economy as per CAFE (corporate average fuel economy ratings) set by the government. The use of aluminum is a no brainer, but the plastic impeller is injection molded onto a knurled metal ring. The raised knurling allows the plastic to grab onto, but thru thousands of thermal cycles can fracture. The pump makes no or little noise, but the impeller does not spin. This is a circulation pump, so if the temp gauge so warm to hot, heater & fan on, no heating plus a complaint of overheating every time it's driven, this too can be the issue. Still requires the pump to be changed, but some brands may press a stamped steel impeller on the shaft instead of plastic. Some sell the entire housing, but is not needed. I would most likely purchase the metal one. Either way you look at it, it a FORD with a Mazda badge.
I once worked on a machine that had a belt between two pulleys and no tensioner. I didn't have a replacement belt, so I installed the pump with the belt already around the pulley. It was tough, but I got it done...eventually.
Well done guys, I guess if you really didn't want to cut the belt, it could be taken off by the same cranking procedure as installing it, if you're short on cash maybe.
If you got a 2002 LX model, there is a tensioner. All you gotta do is push the tensioner out of the way enough to slip the belt on. Otherwise, it is pretty much a similar process.
Hi, just want to say thank very much for your video. it helps me lot. l'm not a mechanic but just tried to replace water pump with zero knowledge. i'm interested to learn. with your procedure to put back the cable by removing the relay and just click the the start to rotate the engine was amazingly a bright idea. now using the mazda van without leakage. thank you and very much appreciated your educational video. more power and god bless.
WOW.. You did a great video! I've done many and also watched many.. I'm sure you get a lot of requests.. I stumbled upon your video searching for the 2002 626 Belts W/P+ALT. This was the first time I have ever seen a car that requires the belt to be cut.. and re-install requires cranking the engine.. Watch those fingers !!! - Thank you.
Outstanding video! You are obviously a seasoned professional. The subject matter was delivered in a no non sense fashion which was easy to follow and understand. The bonus was you're confident manner and tips for the student. I hope you continue to produce more videos because I am looking forward to viewing them. Many thanks, Howard.
Noise for a while and steam today coming from the water pump area. Might be time to change the pump! This video gave me a the blueprint to proceed with confidence. (BTW, how much fluid was lost? The video didn't show topping off before running the engine.)
This reminds me of replacing a fan belt on an air cooled VW engine. You remove and replace it with the engine running. Otherwise it is a long drawn out procedure of loosing and moving the generator and fan assembly, much easier to do it with engine running.
Thanks gramps. Theres other videos here on the dubya dubya dubya that make this seem like a big ol deal, but ahm a lookin farward t' gittin this dun fer the misses on her 05 Escape first thang in the am so's she can have 'er a good weekend a visitin her sis down south. yer awesome.
@chopywatersofmantuki Since is so tight it will be hard to pull it out. U can always stuck a very tiny piece of plastic int the pulley grove so when it turns the belt will be higher than the groove and start pulling from there with the cranking system, still needs to be a very tiny piece in order to not stretch the belt
@chopywatersofmantuki He said the procedure is to cut the old belt off. The old belt was slipping and moving around its probably worn. How do you know the belt was good? Were you there? What do you define as a perfectly good belt? It makes more sense to spend a few bucks and replace the belt when you replace the water pump and be done with it.
Question. My 2000 Mazda mpv ran hot today .Upon checking it, the upper hose insert was broken and had to improvise to connect both hoses. Barely made it home several miles away. How do I know if it's a thermostat or water pump issue ?? Your experience is appreciated.
Hi, I have the same car. And I have a small oil leak around the bottom of the water pump. Where could that be coming from? May not be the water pump but there is engine oil on the bottom most bolt on the water pump. Thx.
is there a required size or model for the belt or is it one size fits all, I need to know since my dad's mazda's belt is missing any help would be greatly appreciated
How can i get a diagram of the Mazda MPV 2004 es ? I found a used ine but looks like a bit of water damage. Im not sure where the transmission isn thismcar. Im thinking its ilocated towards the from , and itlooks as though the casing has rut and rot on it and may be able to poke my finger through itifi oressed hard . I did take it for amtest drive at about 40 mph and it ran fine .
He wanted to "bump the engine" using the ignition key. Turning the large pulley just an inch at a time. The relay was removed to PREVENT the engine starting, spinning the pulley full speed = dangerously.
Okay, I'll make sure my mechanic only charges me for 10 min of labor because I just got an estimate for 1.5 to 2 hours. Would you come and do it for me? :-)
rceliberti I got mine done in less than 1 hour, and that is mostly because I was at work in the dark. Cannot beleive what shops charge for such simple work.

Thanks for the video. Like your title it was a real fast fix on my 03 mazda mpv. Keep up the great work.

RUclips used to be so good. Thank you for the concise, intelligent video.

how many of you smiled when the water pump belt was installed? This is a good mechanic!!!

You don’t have to cut the belt just remove the bolts from the water pump housing so it can be lose enough to Remove the belt
And add the belt before tightening the screws negate the need for starter hack to stretch the belt over.
Awesome, better detailed than this you cannot get!!
If you got a 2002 LX model, there is a tensioner. All you gotta do is push the tensioner out of the way enough to slip the belt on. Otherwise, it is pretty much a similar process.
Thanks for posting that technique of bumping the starter to mount the belt.

what i did was use a zip tie, instead of holding with pliers...that eliminates the risk of injury
Great job

Très bien, merci.

What type if green factory coolant would you say better. They are two kinds for them years.

Excellent!
nice vid man keep em coming
solid video man, thanks for the info
@chopywatersofmantuki He said the procedure is to cut the old belt off. The old belt was slipping and moving around its probably worn. How do you know the belt was good? Were you there? What do you define as a perfectly good belt? It makes more sense to spend a few bucks and replace the belt when you replace the water pump and be done with it.
Trying to figure out a leak below the pump. This pump is weird, they sell just the pump or the whole housing it looks like.
Question. My 2000 Mazda mpv ran hot today .Upon checking it, the upper hose insert was broken and had to improvise to connect both hoses. Barely made it home several miles away. How do I know if it's a thermostat or water pump issue ?? Your experience is appreciated.
Did you use a 25" belt? Should it be really tight?
YOUR THE BEST I LOVEYOU
Wow!!!! I can see that.
That sounded like a possum in it's death-throws, lol.
replaced my water pump today but the belt is not spinning. any hints as to why this could have happened?
GREAT VIDEO. THANKS . CAN U MAKES VIDEO ON HOW TO CHANGE ALTERNATOR FOR MAZDA MVP ! THANKS
Am looking for a belt tensioner for Mazda mpv 2001 automatic tensioner please

Hi,
I have the same car.
And I have a small oil leak around the bottom of the water pump. Where could that be coming from?
May not be the water pump but there is engine oil on the bottom most bolt on the water pump.
Thx.
is there a required size or model for the belt or is it one size fits all, I need to know since my dad's mazda's belt is missing any help would be greatly appreciated

The customer was lucky it was not a timing belt driven pump. Otherwise, the labor cost would soar.
150k is the check interval for them.
Wish it was that easy on a Honda.
What size bolt is on that heat shield
Что за розовый спрей? Для чего он?
just being curious , why was the fuel pump relay removed?
He wanted to "bump the engine" using the ignition key. Turning the large pulley just an inch at a time. The relay was removed to PREVENT the engine starting, spinning the pulley full speed = dangerously.
Have you ever thought of using a laser pointer in you presentations?
Brother, you sound identical to Johnny Cash!
❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
ask for the water pump belt
I still own an "05 6GT 3.0L and doing ANY kind of work in that engine bay is a royal pain in the ass.
I think I'll stay with regular neoprene belts.
Okay, I'll make sure my mechanic only charges me for 10 min of labor because I just got an estimate for 1.5 to 2 hours. Would you come and do it for me? :-)

@2hatelibs1 Mazda's owned by Ford and follows their direction.
