squeeky water pump :/ 4mo????

[gringo_54_oval]

sup guys,

I replaced the belt tensioner (sounded like it was from there) pulled out the alternator got it tested no squeek there sounds like the water pump

I know its not the belt.

Now my question is does the engine need to be pulled out to get this replaced and what else should i get checked out while its out..

No it is possible to do the water pump without taking the engine out. Sure its not the AC pulley/ AC clutch?

Hmmm could be.
Im going to take it to a mechanic next week get another oppinion.
I hope its the A/C cause mine doesnt work be a good excuse to get it fixed now.
Thanks BDS

Might be the clutch in the alternator, ive seen that before, it does sound like a squeeky water pump, to the point i changed that , but still squeeking, ended up being alternator

Hi fellas.
Had the alternator out and the electrician removed the clutch from the alternator and installed a pulley from an astra same width and spaced out the same and assured me it will work exactly the same. I gotta beleive him i guess.
Il take it next week to the mechanic to check it out.
Thanks for your help.
