I just completed replacement of my water pump and thermostat housing on my 2005 Mazda 6. This video, and the other one, were extremely helpful and very detailed. The only suggestions I would have would be to try and break loose the bolts for the water pump pulley before removing the serpentine belt and tightening them after replacing it. Since I replaced the thermostat housing at the same time I had to remove the power steering pump assembly and found it easier to mount the water pump before remounting this assembly. It also made it easier to check for any leaks by making everything more visible. I also found it easier to install the serpentine belt before replacing the motor mount bracket. All and all these videos made the job much easier than trying to figure out what to remove for this task.

I love watching Chris fix for my repairs because he’s funny, but he often doesn’t have a video on my car. Love that’s these guys at 1A have videos on all sorts of cars and parts!

I too had difficulty getting the water pump off. After sleeping on it I checked my steps in removing the 3 8mm bolts water pump bolts. I inadvertently removed a timing belt cover bolt that was 1/4" away and not the water pump bolt. I caught it and every thing went after that. 1A auto has some of the best videos and are very detailed . Why not use silicone on the "o" ring? Thank You.

This was an extremely helpful video and very well done. I am extremely impressed with the skills of this mechanic and it has saved me a lot of time, stress, as well as money. Thank you so much. Anytime I see 1A auto at the beginning of a video when I try to do something myself from parts bought from you guys I know it's going to be a quality video. Thank you so much!!!

I see this one is for the 2.3 I4, are you going to make a video for the 3.0 V6? I know it's a lot different. There is a plastic piece on the 3.0 water pump that is known to break and cause a coolant leak, and has recently done so on my gf's 2006 V6 model - thought I'd ask!

How much cost the water pump for a Mazda 6, 2.3 Motor 2005

[@alejandroroal990]

Another great video. What is the name of the tool that you used to push the tension-er down? I would like to get one of those. If you have it, can you have a link for it? Thank you so much once again...

[@1AAuto]

Are you referring to the torque wrench? Thanks for watching! +Alejandro Roal

[@alejandroroal990]

@@1AAuto At the minute 16:29 right next to the diagram, there is a wrench attached to a bar with a red handle. The bar with the red handle is the one I am interested in, or does it come together? Greetings...

Lol I know you guys faught to get that belt tool off behind cameras 😂

Do you happen to know if this is the same for the same generation Mazda 3 2.0?

[@1AAuto]

+Carlton Hanks The installation process should be very similar for this vehicle as well.

Break the bolts loose before taking serpentine belt off

[@luken6639]

Wouldn't it be easier to put serpentine on before you put engine mount back?

[@paulpatt5481]

Please make a video for the 2.3 L model water pump and radiator.

As informative as this video is, it omits a couple of important points. The serpentine belt tensioning nut releases clockwise, i.e. towards the front of the car. The vehicle I worked on had 14mm nut which was domed at the top and recessed so it is difficult to release with a crowfoot. You will probably need a shallow 14mm socket. I used an extra long raised/flush 14/12 mm ring spanner and a 3/8 breaker bar on the 12mm end to push the spanner down towards the floor. The tensioner nut is a two step arrangement. The first releases a lock nut and once this is free the second stage releases the tension on the belt. Obviously it is important to retighten the lock nut once you have tensioned the belt. This two step procedure is easy to miss as it is almost impossible to see what is happening when you turn the tensioner nut. However, you can feel the nut release which is then followed by resistance from the tensioner spring. It is not necessary to remove the engine mount for this job but if you decide to, it is best to do this before removing the serpentine belt as this will make it easier to access the tensioner nut. Cracking the 10mm pump pully bolts before removing the belt is a lot easier then trying to lock them with a screwdriver. After refilling the radiator, run the engine with the radiator cap off until the thermostat opens and the coolant starts to circulate to ensure there is no air trapped in the system. Then put the cap on and check carefully for leaks. Important as modern cars will not forgive overheating. These comments apply to a made in Japan right hand drive car and may not be correct for left hand drive models. Hope this helps someone.

Why take the ground bolt off?

[@ancienttechnology7337]

This is the 4 cyl?

[@RichardTait1977]

Yes. 2.3L . She says it at 9:57

[@matthewrogers94mr]

Wow I thought it wouldve been alot harder then that

[@Californiasnow]

Was there a problem with the pump itself or was it just the O ring that was the problem?

[@FRAKKKA]

it was missing an ear

[@frankmcintire1237]

@@FRAKKKA But was it broken before or during the removal? Metal looked pretty clean like it happened during removal.

[@KeithPierson]

In the US the Mazda 6 did not come out until the 2003 model. And in between 03 and 07 there are two different engine sizes for that car. A 2.3 l 4 cylinder which is what she's working on and a 3.0 l V6. It would have been nice to have the engine size in the description so I stop wasting time on the 4-cylinder because that does me absolutely no good.
