Cheers, I recently purchased a 2002 x type 3.0 for my daughter. The car was a one owner 60k miles and very well cared for and frankly the all wheel drive is the perfect set up for our unpredictable Colorado weather. I have enjoyed researching both my purchase and questions and thought it best I join in the fun.

Today the vehicle began making a squeal of sorts from the water pump area. I believe it is in fact the pump and am planning the simple replacement. Although I have no active leaking I can clearly see dried AF in and about the t the pump area. Are there any other parts you all recommend I change at this time other than of course the gasket and possibly belt? What type of AF seems to be preferred? Thanks all,
Rob

 

Hi Rob, and welcome! Nice car for your daughter. Any chance that squeal is a simple belt problem? Just a thought. The s-type guys will give you many more ideas I'm sure.
Again, welcome!

Scott, I wish but the belt itself looks great and this certainly sounds bearing like.....I guess I will no for sure once I disassemble and can check it out. Thanks much for the reply.
