Car Fix DIY Videos

In today’s video I will show how to change a water pump in a Ford V6 3.5- or 3.7-liter engine, years 2012-2019. This engine can be found in numerous Ford vehicles models such as the Explorer, Edge, Flex, Taurus, police interceptor and a couple Lincoln models as well.

Notes: Replacement of the crankshaft pulley bolt is a recommended when doing this job!

The torque specs listed in this video should be double checked by other sources to verify everything is correct.
