I ran across some information on my Mazda’s (Ford) Duratec 3.7 V6. Looks like the Water Pump is internal to the engine and driven by the timing chain. Any failure by gasket or pump can trash the engine quickly by spilling coolant into the oil.
I read somewhere the 2012’s have a beefed-up impeller making the failures less common. I hear the engine must be taken out to fix which can be costly. Currently have 57,800 miles.
Anyone have any info on how common it is?
