2 Answers
The method to remove the water pump on a Hyundai Verna is: 1. Drain the coolant; 2. Remove the radiator inlet and outlet hoses, take out the heater hoses, and detach the V-belt and pulley; 3. Unscrew the water pump's fixing bolts to remove the water pump. The Hyundai Verna has a body size of: length 4300 mm, width 1705 mm, height 1460 mm, with a wheelbase of 2570 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 43 liters. The Hyundai Verna is equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine, producing a maximum horsepower of 95 PS, a maximum power of 70 kW, and a maximum power speed of 6000 rpm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've disassembled the Hyundai Verna's water pump a few times, and the whole process isn't too difficult but requires tools and patience. First, let the engine cool down completely to avoid burning yourself. Then open the engine hood, locate the radiator cap, and carefully unscrew it to release the system pressure. Next, place a basin under the car to catch the liquid, and use a wrench to loosen the radiator drain plug to release all the coolant. After that, remove the fan blades and drive belt in front of the wheel, being careful with the belt tension to avoid injuring your hands. The water pump is usually located at the front of the engine, with about three or four bolts. I used a 10mm socket wrench to loosen them one by one. Gently wiggle the water pump body to remove it, and don't forget to clean the mounting surface to remove old sealant. When installing the new water pump, apply new sealant to ensure a tight fit, and reassemble the components in reverse order. Finally, refill the coolant, start the engine, and check for leaks. The whole process took me about an hour, with just a wrench and a basin as tools. After completing the job, test the water temperature to ensure it's normal and not overheating.
