Repair Procedures

Removal

Hyundai Palisade. Repair procedures
  • Be careful not to damage parts located under the vehicle (floor under cover, fuel filter, fuel tank, and canister) when lifting the vehicle with a lift. (Refer to General Information - Jack Lifting Points and Support Points)
  1. Remove the engine cover. (Refer to Engine and Transaxle Assembly - Engine Cover)
  2. Drain the engine coolant. (Refer to Cooling System — Engine Coolant)
  3. Remove the drive belt. (Refer to Valve Timing System - "Drive Belt")
  4. Remove the water pump pulley (A).

Inspection

  1. Inspect each component for cracks, damage, or wear. Replace the water pump assembly if necessary.
  2. Inspect the bearing for damage, abnormal noise, and rough rotation. Replace the coolant pump assembly if necessary.
  3. Check for coolant leakage. If coolant leaks from the hole, the seal is damaged. Replace the water pump assembly.
    Hyundai Palisade. Repair procedures
    • A small amount of seepage from the drain hole is normal.

Installation

Water Pump
  1. Install the water pump (A) with new gaskets.

  3. Install in the reverse order of removal.
  4. Fill the radiator with coolant. (Refer to Cooling System - Coolant)
  5. Start the engine and check for leaks.
  6. Recheck the coolant level.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

Symptom of Malfunction Probable Cause Remedy
Coolant Leakage
  • From the water pump drain hole
 Visually inspect
  • Check for leaks approximately 10 minutes after warming up.
  • If coolant continues to leak, replace the water pump.
  • If the leak stops, reuse the water pump. (Do not replace the pump with a new one.)
  • From the gaskets or bolts
  • Check the tightening torque of the water pump mounting bolts.
  • Tighten the mounting bolts.
  • Check for damage to the gasket or contamination by dust.
  • Replace the gasket and clean off any dust.
  • From the outer surface of the water pump
  • Check the water pump material for cracks.
  • Material defect. If cracks are found, replace the water pump.
Noise
  • From the bearings
  • From the mechanical seals
  • Impeller interference
 Inspection using a stethoscope
  • After starting the engine, check for noise with a stethoscope.
  • If there is no noise, reuse the water pump (do not replace it).
  • If there is noise from the water pump, remove the drive belt and recheck.
Inspection after drive belt removal.
  • After removing the water pump and drive belt, check the noise level again.
  • If there is noise, reuse the water pump. Check the other drive part line.
  • If there is no noise, replace the water pump with a new one.
Inspection after water pump removal
  • After removing the water pump and drive belt, check the noise level again.
  • If there is any interference between them, replace the water pump with a new one.
Overheating
  • Damaged impeller
  • Loose impeller
 Loose impeller
  • Impeller vanes corroded
  • Check the engine coolant.
  • Poor coolant quality / maintenance
  • Impeller separated from shaft
  • Replace the water pump.
