2002 Mercury Villager Water Pump Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the water pump on 2002 Mercury Villager?

  A: Service and repair operations for the water pump need to start with draining the engine cooling system. Start by uninstalling the crankshaft pulley together with the water pump pulley when all bolts are reached. Lower the vehicle after removing the six lower timing belt cover bolts. You need to detach the upper radiator hose by breaking the bolt and unlocking the clamps and then proceed to detach the coolant bypass hose after removing the clamps. The A/C compressor idler pulley along with its bracket becomes removable through bolt removal. The wire harness moves aside when its clip is unfastened for disconnecting the vacuum reservoir vacuum hose. Unclipping the main wire harness leads to its repositioning before unclipping another wire harness alongside setting aside both the harness bracket and wire harness. These changes require removing the spark plug wire bolt and unclipping it. Release the clamps to remove the PCV breather hoses and tube as well as the bolt. Loosen the seven bolts that attach the upper timing belt cover to remove it and the lower cover along with its bolts. Record the position of the stud on the water pump before pulling out the six bolts and extracting the water pump unit. During the installation process use a 0.079 - 0.118 inch (2.0 - 3.0 mm) bead of Silicone Gasket and Sealant F7AZ-19554-EA or equivalent material conforming to Ford Specification WSK-M2G343-A4 to the water pump base then carry out the reverse removal steps.
