Looking for a local shop/heated garage

My 240 needs a new waterpump and I dont really want to pay a shop to do something so simple and it’s too cold to function outside. I changed the thermostat in my parking lot on saturday and my fingers almost fell off. Needless to say, the thermostat wasn’t the problem lol and I figure it’s most likely the waterpump at this point. I’m at suny albany. If anyone has a shop or anything heated they wouldnt mind me using, I’ll throw you some money to use it and/or help me swap the waterpump. Let me know. That or if anyone knows a shop that will do it for a decent price, I’m game for that too.

TIA

i have a heater in my garage that keeps it nice and warm if you want to use it.

i bought a heater to do work in the garage over winter. its awesome. makes it nice and warm in there. i’d suggest one of those.

he doesn’t have a garage.

5

ahhhh, ic ic. how long do u think something like this would take? we could possibly do it at my garage.

6

what is the car doing that makes you think it needs a water pump?

7

waterpump on a KA is CAKE

Take off intake
fan Shroud
then clutch fan.
Loosen the belt
remove 5 bolts on the water pump

and reverse order and done. Should take 30 minutes tops.

Yeah the hardest part is removing the fan shroud, it’s a bitch

9

makes me rage.

Good thing we got Efans :thumbup

Haha yeah it would only take 30 minutes. It’s easy as hell. I think I got it figured out though. There’s just a stubborn bubble trapt in the system and I just noticed a bunch of leaves and crap stuck in front of the radiator.

I’m going to bleed the system a few more times and clean out the engine bay a bit tomorrow. Should be good. Ill keep you guys in mind though since I’m always working on my car in the freezing cold… haha

11

Ohhh yeah if you didnt bleed it right it’s probably that :lol
