420A Let’s fix my Eclipse with questions and answers - Water Pump

[Kenn]

Hello everyone. I have a 1995 first year 2nd generation eclipse. Today I want talk about replacing the water pump. What I would need to do? I have a cooling leakage from the corner back firewall block. And front underneath near behind fog lamps.

Question I was asked by a auto store. I didn’t know the answer only I could guess it Is my water pump on my Eclipse 420a. Is my water pump connected to timing belt or is my water pump just stand alone without any connection to the timing belt area?

It is timing belt driven on the 420a

It's tough to decipher what you're saying in parts of your question. My question is, how is it the auto parts store doesn't know what water pump you need? They won't be able to diagnose your problem, but they should be able to get you the correct pump if you give them all the appropriate information about the car.

The 4g63(T) water pump is driven by a serpentine belt, same as the earlier 4g37.

The 420A pump is always timing belt driven. I'd assume they weren't sure whether it was a 420A or a 4g63(T) since they would both be listed as 2.0L. Properly keying in the vehicle should differentiate them in the system.

Either way, save some money and order online. Parts stores will massively over charge you for that chunk of cast aluminum.

use "262392087237257235" in the "how did you hear about us"

Sure, that's easy to remember.

I don't think it's a code that will be around too long. Found it in another thread. They used to allow you to use "dsmtuners" in the "how did you hear about us" field, don't think that works anymore though.
