About to fit a water pump...But.....

[TIDY]

Hi Guys my Transit has a squeeling pulley since i bought it about 2 months ago, Ive changed the Tensioner and also the idler but it still squeels.
Ive bought a water pump to fit but im wondering what the pulley on top of the water pump is as i may as well change both.

Hopefully this will stop the pulley squeel and also the weird over heating i get when i drive up a hill or long gradient ?????

did you change the belt as well ?

The belt was apparently new when i bought it, There was an old one chucked in the back of the van so i have no reason to doubt this.

do a search water pump problem been talked about many many times

splines go etc over heating can be a number of things not just the pump

Do you know what the pulley is on top of the water pump so i can order it?

*edit.. just done some digging and its the Vacuum pump

not on rwd transits

The pulley above the water pump is the vacuum pump and i don't think you can replace just the pulley, search vacuum pump

Just did some reading and you've already found it

Just to put this thread to bed i changed the water pump and vacuum pump and now the squeal has gone,
It hasnt stopped it from overheating on hills but thats another story all together
