Can the Impeller of the Verna Water Pump Be Replaced?
2 Answers
Yes, the impeller of the Verna water pump can be replaced. During replacement, pay attention to the following: 1. Fit the impeller onto the pump shaft, place a small wooden block on the impeller, gently tap it with a hammer to install the impeller in place, and tighten the impeller fixing screw. 2. Insert the motor and impeller into the pump body, being careful not to damage the O-ring on the outer ring of the end cover. Adjust the impeller position, rotate the impeller to prevent any jamming at the mouth ring, evenly tighten the end cover screws, check if the impeller has any jamming, and make corresponding adjustments. The Verna is a model jointly designed and developed by Beijing Hyundai, Hyundai North America, and the European Design Center. The Verna has dimensions of 4340mm in length, 1700mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2570mm, making it a sedan.
I'm the kind of person who often works on my own car repairs. Regarding replacing the impeller in a Verna's water pump, I think it's theoretically possible, but in practice, I don't recommend doing it. The impeller inside the water pump is usually sealed together with the bearing as a single unit. Disassembling it to replace the impeller is quite challenging and requires professional tools and skills. A slight mistake could damage the seal, leading to coolant leakage. I've encountered a few friends who tried to save money by replacing it themselves, only to end up with improperly installed pump bodies before going on long trips, resulting in engine overheating that nearly ruined the engine. If the water pump is faulty, don't bother with partial fixes—replacing the entire set is more worry-free. A repair shop can handle it at a reasonable price. Also, it's important to check if the coolant has deteriorated to avoid impeller corrosion. Regular maintenance with good antifreeze can prevent such issues.
