How to replace water pump elantra 94 - Hyundai Motor 1994 Elantra

Water pump or pulley most likely.

Always replace water pump and pulleys when you do the timing belt.

Also you may have overtightened the belt.

NOTE, Kevlar belts will make a "whirring" noise for a few thousand miles after replacement, but not a growling.

Yes, you are just about spot on for the timing belt. Leave the water pump - if it ain't broke don't fix it. Changing the belts does not disturb the water pump so wait until it actually starts to leak, and that could be in years to come.

These cars use a thermostat that has a little check ball in it to let hot water past the thermostat to warm the interior even if the thermostat is not opened up yet. The ball could be sticking. Another possibility is that the fins on the water pump have corroded away, but your car isnt that old for that to have happened( I would hope) unless you have had your coolant replaced and whoever replaced it used city water instead of distilled water. Some water is acidic and could corrode internal parts. Alway use distilled water in a cooling system along with antifreeze.
Or you may have a loose water pump belt and at idle it is slipping.

replace water pump; sounds like it's coming from the weep hole(that's what it's called), because it starts like tears, and then comes the floodgates. your're gonna need a w pump.

yes it is and u may need vavle and valve guides

If the water pump is driven by the timing belt replace it and anything else that is driven by the timing belt(idlers and tensioner) , Also replace the camshaft and crankshaft oil seals while your there.
Never hurts to flush the cooling system and add fresh coolant/anti-freeze.
Hope this helps

(1) No need to know if engine block coolant drain plug was available. Once the water pump was removed, all engine block coolant was drained. (2) After removing the three engine mounting bracket bolts, I also removed the mount bracket from the the body and made enough room to replace the timing belt easier.

1. Remove the alternator & power steering pump drive belts.
2. Remove four (4) 10mm bolts holding the water pump pullys & remove the pullys.
3. Drain the Radiator (save coolant if intend to reuse).
4. Loosen & remove AC compressor belt.
5. Remove crankshaft pully (22mm bolt).
6. Remove lower timing belt cover (10 mm bolts) to access water pump bolts.
7. Remove the water pump (12mm bolts)
(1) Remove the 2 bolts, then remove the alternator brace (A). (2) Remove the water pump (B) and gasket.
8. Clean mating surface on engine & install new gasket & pump - reassemble. Refill w/50-50 coolant.

I would go to auto zone and get a diagram and the timing belt and do it yourself and the water pump (no it does not have to be changed everytime the timing belt is changed but if the car has over 60,000miles then it is best to change them both) it is not that hard especially if the car is not out of time just make sure you disconnect the negative side of the battery

1. Drain the coolant and disconnect the coolant outlet pipe connection hose from the coolant pump. 2. Remove the drive belt and engine coolant pump pulley. 3. Remove the timing belt covers and the timing belt idler. 4. Remove the coolant pump mounting bolts, then remove the generator brace. 5. Remove the coolant pump assembly from the cylinder block.
