Описание: DIY- How to: Remove & Install Water Pump & coolant Drain/Change on 2.5L 4-cylinder engine 2014 to 2020 Mazda 6, 3, CX-5

Is the water pump showing signs that it has started leaking or it has stopped altogether?

In this video, I’ll show you what a water pump looks like when it initially starts to leak, how to remove and install a new one and how to perform a coolant flush and refill. The following video has been broken down into 3 videos to keep it short and to give as much detail as I can when doing this.

This applies to 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, which can be found in 2014 to 2020 Mazda 6, 3, CX-5.

How to remove & Install the water pump and Serpentine belt.
Even though you only need to remove the water pump belt from the Water Pump pulley ONLY, it’s a good idea to go ahead and replace this belt. For this, the serpentine belt will need to be removed. Might as well replace that belt too

Video C-Step 3: Remove & Install Water Pump & coolant drain/Change: (this video)
this video I will show you how to remove and install a new one and how to perform a coolant flush and refill.

All parts used are Mazda OEM parts. When ordering the water pump, you need to ensure that you get the O-ring for the water inlet pipe.

When the water pump is removed, most of the liquid in the engine does drain out. There is no need to add water to flush the block, we will simply drain the radiator which will empty the lower and upper rad hose, thus getting majority of the coolant out. Since there is a likely hood that not all the coolant might come out, we do not want to mix other brand coolant with Mazda coolant, so we will just refill with Mazda Coolant. The cost is the same, not worth the $10-$15 saving to risk other engine/gasket problems

This is probably the best time to go ahead and replace the thermostat as well since you have the coolant out and you are at high enough miles to change the water pump, so it's most likely time to replace to replace the thermostat as well
