chazzsrq Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 One year ago I had my timing belt and water replaced. About a month ago the water pump started making noise. I replaced the water pump and within 60 miles it started making the same noise. Both pumps were tru flow from napa. We went ahead and replaced the pump with a toyota pump and it's making the same noise after less than 60 miles.On close inspection the impeller shaft is bent and is rubbing the side of the housing. Do you have any idea what can be causing this problem. thank you The car is a 2000 rx 300 with 108,000 miles on it.
lenore Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 That is totally weird, the pump especially the Toyota one is very robust....Maybe your tensioner is bad....Also the idlers for timing belt, are they all good? I would suspect the tensioner....
chazzsrq Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 I am taking the car back to the shop thursday. I would let them know what you said. I think you are right. Hopefully i can get this resolved.
