Bobtylerjr Posted July 3, 2016 I am about to rebuild my water pump and would like to know what else makes good sense to replace or rebuild along the way. I own a 2004 Sunesta 236 and the engine compartment looks more accessible than it really is. I am already planning to replace the serpentine belt while I have the water pump bracket removed. Is there anything else I should consider replacing so I do not have to repeat some of the same work and contortions it takes for me to reach certain parts? I considered the thermostat but it appears to be located more toward the top of the motor (if I have in fact located it). Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

osteodoc08 Posted July 3, 2016 I'd still replace the thermostat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drewm3i Posted July 3, 2016 If it ain't broke (or suspect), don't replace it. Manifolds/risers? Circ. water pump? Cap and rotor? Plugs? Plug wires? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
