rockfangd Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 welcome to caddyinfo. People do it different ways. I use a baster and exchange the fluid a little at a time. I have had wonderful luck doing it this way. I have had noisy pumps quiet right down to nothing as it exchanges the fluid a little at a time rather than removing all at once and installing new. Sometimes old components cannot handle the new fluid like that. I have never had one of mine go bad. What is the issue that you are having?

KHE Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 If the pump is "howling", that sounds like a bearing is bad. If the pump is whining, that usually indicates air is being sucked in somewhere - usually on the return line. Check the entire system for leaks and verify the fluid is at the proper level. The pump is not hard to change out - remove the serpentine belt, disconnect the lines and one bolt holds it in but make sure you don't have an issue other than the pump causing the problem (like I mentioned above) before replacing the pump.
