Not anymore. Just ordered a water pump for my 3.5L Ford Taurus.
It’s next to impossible to replace. Worst then Audi engineeringLast edited by Sonny; 04-29-2019, 10:11 AM.

And I though spark plug access and turbo installation was a pain on my car... Hey, at least the bottom nuts that hold the manifold on will be easy to get to.

water pump is integrated into the timing chain and its FWD, so yeah.
IIRC, when the pump fails it spews hot coolant into the crankcase, thereby causing all sorts of fun!
Dunno why they couldn't just use a conventional external pump like on other vehicles.If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!
