How to replace a water pump on Mercury Capri?

A faulty water pump can cause engine overheating. To test the pump, squeeze the upper radiator hose while the engine is running. A working pump will cause a pressure surge. Check for leaks from the pump's weep holes, using a flashlight if necessary. Listen for a howling sound indicating shaft bearing failure, and check for shaft wear by rocking the pulley. Don't confuse drivebelt slippage, which causes a squealing sound, with pump failure. To replace the pump, disconnect the battery, drain the cooling system, remove the fan, shroud, drivebelts, pulley, hoses, brackets, and on a 2.3L engine, the outer timing belt cover. Detach the pump, clean the bolt threads and holes, and compare the new pump to the old one. Clean the engine and pump mating surfaces, apply RTV gasket sealant, and position the new gasket. Install the new pump, being careful not to overtighten the bolts. Reinstall all removed parts, refill the cooling system, check the drivebelt tension, and run the engine to check for leaks.

Mercury Capri Water Pump

The Water Pump of Mercury Capri vehicles is one of those parts that effectively pumps coolant from the radiator to the Engine block to absorb heat, produced due to combustion. So, a majority of Capri vehicles incorporate a serpentine belt-driven water pump with an impeller that circulates water through the engine block and onto the radiator. Whereas in earlier models of automobile manufacture, water pumps could be made of cast iron, items such as the water pump used in the car are aluminum castings. The signs of a bad water pump are, therefore, presence of leakage on the coolant, a loud sound from the bearings, and extremely high temperatures in the engine. High-performance engines that feature enhanced water pumps include the higher impellers and internal channels to boost the flow of coolants while reducing the loss of power. There are also electric water pumps that are better to use for higher efficiency and cooling in some installed custom application where available space is limited.
