Daihatsu Charade Car Repair Questions and Answers
Question: I have a 1988
Daihatsu Charade CLS (hence the username) with 135k miles and the water pump
needs to be replaced. is it easier to take it in and have it don't because it
looks like the engine needs to be lifted out of the car. I don't have the tools
for that. or can I do it without lifting the engine. I recently replaced the
thermostat and that helped the temp a lil but it still gets hot when driving on
the freeway or running the a/c. so I have been suffering out here in the hot
Utah weather with the 2/60 a/c. do you suggest flushing the cooling system
before replacing the water pump? if you could let me know I would REALLY
appreciate it! thank you much!
Answer: Flushing might help,
but the cooling system will have to be drained to do the water pump anyway. Be
sure to have them chemical test the cooling system for a blown head gasket
before you spend too much money elsewhere.
