My daughter has a 2001 Daewoo Laganza. She is losing water near the water pump. We are unfamiliar with Daewoos, and don't own a repair manual for this vehicle. My son says that he can possibly replace it, but may need a manual. Can anyone help?

To change the water pump, means the timing belt has to come off. Are you ready for this?
It goes deep!

Here's what the water pump costs:

While we find your parts, please enter your ZIP Code at PartsAmerica.com

I recommend you get the work done at the Daewoo dealership.

Thanks to both of you for your help. After my son checked the car, he said it appears to be a hose leaking that is located near the bottom, on the passenger side of the vehicle, between the front tire and the firewall. (It was dark when he checked, and difficult to see much with a flashlight). My daughter doesn't want to drive the car with the leak, so taking it to the auto parts store for their advice is out. My son doesn't get home from work until it is dark. My new question is, regarding the 2001 Daewoo Laganza, might the hose in question be the heater hose? If we know what hose to buy, we can pick it up so he can replace it. Also, Captain Rich, might you have a diagram of the cooling system? Thanks again for your help.

My theory on hoses is, when one hose goes, the others aren't far behind, if you end up thinking that this hose is bad, then I recommend changing all you can, after all, this is your daughter we are talking about.

This will be a good time to backflush the heater core also with the garden hose, flush it from both directions.

The parts store should also be able to print up a parts diagram for you so you can study the layout on the car and make an informed decision, don't forget a new gallon of the correct type of antifreeze for this peticular engine also. Do a complete fresh water flush of the entire system to get as much of the old stuff out.

My daew laganza lost power driving on the interstate I was going 70 mph and everything went out and will not crank back up what could be wrong with my car

. Check all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter:

. Check for codes.

. Check for fuel. Can you hear the fuel pump run, when the ignition switch is turned to ON?

. Check for spark. If none, focus on checking/replacing the coil pack and Crankshaft Position Sensor.

Recommended replacement intervals vary anywhere from 72,000 to 102,000 miles.
Has the timing belt been serviced based on time and mileage? Little else would explain the sudden loss. Without knowing more about your car, diagnosis will be guessing.

I have some familiarity with these cars, my friend has one, and Ive done several major jobs on it, as it happens it is broken down in front right now with... leaking water pump hose.
It's a well-made Korean car... except... with a crappy engine sourced from the Australian GM Holden company... this engine although it originates in the 1980s Camira cars and has been worked over with a DOHC head, nonetheless gives at least its share of trouble. I would not personally recommend buying any of the Daewoos with that general engine design, such as Leganza Nubira, Lanos , Tucanos..
OK.
If your VERY lucky it is just the water pump to plastic pipe hose itself off back of water pump area of block...
but if as the car right now out front of my house, it is the alloy pipe that takes that hose... it is subject to cooling system corrosion.. it slowly rots away by electrolysis.. the part itself is not THAT expensive..
but
you have a quite involved job on your hands, as timing cover and water pump need to be removed, and that short pipe (about 2" in diameter) which nestles in block in back of water pump, needs replacement.
Its not an average DIY job, and its not easy access... its even likely that removing the engine to do it is advisable... at least then you have good workspace that you really need... person doing it must also know how to deal with removing , replacing and resetting the rubber T-belt.. its actually a good idea to replace the t-belt , and the water pump, and its pulleys, (they come as a kit) while the front of the engine is apart like this, as they need to be replaced within reasonable intervals anyway or else they can seize and break and do very serious engine damage in the future.
If you are short of money and have to pay normal hr rates to a shop for all of this, it is likely to hurt somewhat, probably in excess of the $$ value of that car at this stage. All parts are maybe $200-250 including a T-belt kit if u do that as well,not that bad for parts,
--but I can't see how it wouldn't be at least 8hrs labor...
