In this video we'll go over how to replace BOTH the water pump and thermostat on these engines with genuine ACDelco replacement parts. The vehicle illustrated is a 2004 Chevy Cavalier with the 2.2L Ecotec engine (RPO L61), which has started having the low coolant symbol illuminating intermittently on the instrument cluster due to a leak from the water pump itself.
This repair procedure directly applies to the 2003, 2004, and 2005 model years. It may also apply to earlier years but only if using the 2.2L Ecotec engine, regular production option (RPO) L61 as the water pump mounting layout should be in the same position as what I've shown here. Note that prior to 2003 GM had two 2.2L engine flavors, you can tell the difference by looking for the Ecotec name label on top of the L61 type engine. These engines were used in many other vehicles, and this video may apply to them as well.
The water pump for the 2003 2004 and 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire with the 2.2L Ecotec engine is GM 12630084 or ACDelco 251-751. This GM number supersedes the now discontinued GM 12624936, GM 12591894, GM 19181920, GM 12585226, GM 24467301, GM 55352570, GM 24439798, and GM 24439797.
You may need a new seal for the four bolt access cover plate where you installed the special water pump gear tool as well which is GM 90537915.
The thermostat for these years of Cavalier and Sunfire is GM 12622410 or ACDelco 131-158. This GM number supersedes the now discontinued GM 12615097, GM 90537453, GM 21018811, and GM 55350941.
