When changing the water pump, pay close attention to every detail as a malfunction of this component could cause problematic and costly breakages, potentially compromising the entire engine of the vehicle. After removing the damaged pump, located in its housing in the engine block, thoroughly clean the contact surfaces: scale from the fluid present deposits in the junction areas, and any residue on the contact surfaces would prevent proper tightening during reassembly.

Before placing the gasket and reinstalling the new pump, clean the housing carefully.
