I had a persistent coolant leak. With 185K on this vehicle it could have been several things, but I was able to narrow it down to a bad water pump. Water pump was fairly inexpensive from Rock Auto.

I apologize for not having better camera angles on removing the electrical junction box. Just be sure to get those 7 tabs all loose at the same time, which is harder than it should be.
Tip to get the pulley back on...just line up one of the threaded holes with something you can reference near the top. Then put a bolt through the pulley hole and get just 1 started. Once you have 1, then the rest are super easy.

I found it easier to remove the fuse box up top and also just the motor mount bushing up top to get the top bolts to the water pump and then remove the tire to get the lower bolts. I had it out and back in no more then hour n half. Also remove the 2 nuts that hold the ac line brackets for the lines up top to squeeze the water pump out from up top. And remove the 2 nuts for the power steering reservoir and bump that to the side to give you more room. Makes the job a little easier. Just use some power tools and makes the job go quick.

@JoseGutierrez-ur9uu 3 месяца назад

was it leaking ? any other way to diagnose the water pump. my enclave still running hot. I replaced thermostat, fans, radiator - oil has not coolant btw- ! its either air trapped in the circuit or the water pump !! any advice would be welcomed

@DoItMyselfGarage 3 месяца назад

Yes, mine was leaking. You could smell antifreeze when parked indoors and the level kept going down. When there is a leak it often times won't draw down the reservoir, but will be low. If you pull that front plastic cover off then you can check the actual radiator level. Could be a bad radiator cap also. Don't check while hot or you could have a mess and get burned.

Also, these vehicles run around 190-200, not 180 or lower like many others. Wouldn't be surprised if you got a bad thermostat. Parts these days aren't the best. If it isn't boiling over and just showing hot on the gage, then it could be a bad sensor also. Laser heat probes are nice for checking actual temps. They are super cheap at Harbor Freight and can help with diagnosing things like this.

I'm still stunned that the battery is located under the seat.

@DoItMyselfGarage 8 месяцев назад

Yeah, with battery gases you wouldn't think inside the vehicle is the best place. A friend's 4 door sedan had it under the back seat. Yes, you had to remove the back seat to get to the battery. These are vented to the outside, but it is still not the typical location for a battery.

How long would you say this took you?

@DoItMyselfGarage 7 месяцев назад

About 4-5 hours is probably a good expectation the first time. It is actually a pretty straight forward repair that most anyone can do with basic hand tools. I spent a lot of time consulting other videos to make sure I didn't miss anything. I'd definitely give yourself a good Saturday morning/afternoon to get it done so you're not rushed.

That’s good to hear. This is my weekend project. Changed several water pumps before, but everything on the enclave is like 10x more difficult.
