Thread: 2.7 water pump failure ?

    2.7 water pump failure ?

    Gday All,


    Has anyone had issue's with the water pump on 2.7 engine ? I am doing my timing belt and oil pump next weekend , and I have had a new alternator and water pump since I purchased the car , so was going to fit the new alternator but tossing up if its worth disturbing the water pump or not.


    Car is a 08 D3 with 133,000ks on it. Sure I understand things can fail randomly but I don't recall reading much on water pump issue's.


    Thoughts ?


    Cheers Ean

    Ean,

    I can't answer your question re the water pump but when I do my timing belt soon as I'm at 145K I intend to change the water pump and the water outlet while I'm there.

    Gday Roger,

    I have already done the outlet as it was starting to weep. A certain part of me says let sleeping dogs lay. Different with the oil pump as it's an engine killer and a known fault , the alternator seem to be lucky if you get to 150,000 without issue , plus it has to come off anyway so that's easy .

    I will make the call when I'm at it I guess.

    Cheers Ean

    I didn't think about doing mine until it was in the workshop so it didn't get done.

    Hopefully I won't regret it.

    Do it while you're in there, for the $150ish including shipping.

    I already have it, bought a spare water pump and alternator when I bought the car. I have found from past experience sometimes it's best to leave water pumps alone . Admittedly that was not on Land Rover but on Cat and Cummins engines.
