Question by mike1985x: How do you change the water pump on a 2001 Taurus VIN “U”?
I looks like it has a motor mount bolted through it, and that seems like a pretty stupid design. Do you have to block up the motor?

Buy a Chilton’s book they give easy step by step directions.

If it seems stupid it is probably just how Ford designed it. Have fun
I don’t think it’s bolted thru it, it just appears to be… I think it attaches to the upper intake if I remember.
if it’s the 3.0 2 valve motor
Basically remove the dogbone, the coolant jug (after draining the fluid into a pan ..plug is under the plastic cover on left side)… remove the belt… remove the pulley and remove the water pump…. I can’t remember if the hose attaches to the pump or the pump backing.. if it attaches to the pump remove it from the pump…. just reassemble and that’s about the ust of it…
Book would be better for all the small details I kind of passed over
