HYUNDAI GETZ 2006 to 2011 Workshop Service Repair Manual Digital Download

- Overview
- Replace or inspect the water pump when you have coolant leaks at the pump, overheating, noisy pump bearings, or if the pump was driven by the timing belt that you must remove. On most Hyundai Getz engines the water pump is driven by the timing belt or accessory belt — check which engine you have. If the water pump is timing-belt-driven you will almost always need to remove the timing belt and you should replace the timing belt and tensioner at the same time.
- This guide covers workshop-style replacement aimed at a beginner with basic hand tools, and lists extra/special tools that a professional shop will use and why they are required.

- Safety first
- Work only on a cold engine; opening a hot cooling system can cause scalding.
- Support the car securely on axle stands after using a jack; never rely on the jack alone.
- Wear safety glasses and gloves; have a fire extinguisher nearby.
- Catch and dispose of old coolant properly — it’s toxic to animals and the environment.

- Parts you will likely need (bring exact part numbers for your engine)
- New water pump (OEM or quality aftermarket specific to your Hyundai Getz engine)
- Water pump gasket or O-ring (usually supplied with the pump)
- Coolant (pre-mixed or concentrate + distilled water — use Hyundai-approved spec if you can)
- Timing belt kit (belt, tensioner, idler pulleys) — required if the pump is timing-belt-driven or if the belt is old
- Thermostat (recommended replacement when you open the cooling system)
- Sealant (if specified for your gasket type)
- New hose clamps or replacement hoses if existing hoses are brittle or leaking

- Basic tools (what they are, how to use them)
- Socket set (metric sockets 8–19 mm typical) and ratchet
- Description: sockets fit over hex heads; ratchet lets you turn fasteners without removing the socket.
- How to use: pick the correct socket that fits snugly, push fully onto the nut/bolt, use the ratchet handle to turn. Reverse switch changes direction.
- Combination wrenches (metric open/box end set)
- Description: wrench has an open end and a boxed end. Useful where sockets won’t fit.
- How to use: use boxed end for torque; open end for quick turns in tight spots.
- Torque wrench (click-type, metric)
- Description: measures and applies a specified torque to fasteners.
- How to use: set required torque, tighten until wrench clicks. Essential for pump bolts and pulleys to avoid leaks or stripped bolts.
- Screwdrivers (flat and Phillips)
- Description: used for hose clamps, small screws, prying gently.
- How to use: use proper tip and size to avoid stripping heads.
- Pliers (slip-joint, needle-nose)
- Description: gripping and bending; remove hose clips.
- How to use: use for pliers-type clamps or to pull off stubborn hoses after loosening clamps.
- Hose clamp pliers or long-nose pliers
- Description: specialized pliers for spring-type clamps.
- How to use: compress clamp and slide away from pump/hose end, then release slowly.
- Drain pan
- Description: shallow container to catch coolant.
- How to use: place under radiator drain or under pump area before opening drains/hose.
- Funnel and coolant-safe container
- Description: for refilling coolant and mixing.
- How to use: use funnel to avoid spills.
- Gasket scraper / plastic putty knife
- Description: removes old gasket material without damaging mating surface.
- How to use: scrape gently at low angle; avoid gouging aluminium surfaces.
- Wire brush / brake cleaner / lint-free rags
- Description: cleans mating surfaces and removes corrosion.
- How to use: clean surfaces thoroughly before installing new gasket.

- Lifting and supporting tools (how to use safely)
- Hydraulic trolley jack
- Description: raises vehicle to access underside.
- How to use: position on strong jacking point, pump handle to raise slowly.
- Axle stands / jack stands
- Description: support the vehicle once raised.
- How to use: lower car onto stands placed under recommended jacking points; give the car a push to confirm stability.
- Wheel chocks
- Description: prevents rolling.
- How to use: place behind wheels remaining on ground.

- Workshop/specialty tools that may be required (why they are required)
- Pulley holder / crank pulley holding tool
- Why required: prevents crank pulley from turning when loosening the crank bolt or when removing the timing belt-driven pulley.
- How used: locks the pulley in place so you can safely undo bolts with a breaker bar.
- Breaker bar
- Why required: provides extra leverage to break loose stubborn bolts, eg crankshaft pulley bolt.
- How used: attach correct socket to breaker bar, apply steady force—don’t jerk.
- Harmonic balancer puller / pulley puller
- Why required: removal of crankshaft pulley may need a puller to avoid damaging the pulley or crank.
- How used: attach puller arms and center bolt, tighten center to pull pulley off shaft evenly.
- Timing belt tensioner tool / alignment pins / cam/crank locking tools
- Why required: if the Getz water pump is driven by the timing belt you must hold cam and crank positions during removal/installation to preserve engine timing. Improper timing causes engine damage.
- How used: lock the cam and crank at timing marks, set tensioner to the specified preload, and verify timing marks after installation.
- Torque angle gauge (only if specified)
- Why required: some bolts require angle-tightening procedure after an initial torque.
- How used: attaches to torque wrench to measure rotation angle.

- Why extra tools may be required for a Hyundai Getz
- Many Getz engines have the water pump integrated behind the timing cover and driven by the timing belt; that makes the job more complex and requires timing tools, a harmonic balancer puller, and often replacement of the timing belt/tensioner while you’re there. A shop has these tools and the experience to set timing accurately.

- General workshop procedure (high-level bullet steps)
- Prepare: ensure you have the correct water pump and gasket for your engine, a replacement timing belt kit if applicable, fresh coolant, and required tools.
- Safety: disconnect negative battery terminal and ensure the engine is cold.
- Drain coolant: position drain pan under radiator, open the radiator drain or remove lower radiator hose to drain coolant into the pan.
- Remove accessory drive belt(s) and components blocking access: loosen tensioner, remove drive belts, remove the alternator or AC bracket if needed to reach timing cover.
- Remove engine undercover or wheel arch liner if needed for access.
- Remove timing cover(s): unbolt and remove covers to expose timing belt/pulley area.
- If timing-belt-driven: set engine to Top Dead Center (TDC) on No. 1 cylinder and align timing marks, lock cam/crank with tools; mark belt direction before removal; remove belt and tensioner.
- Remove water pump: loosen and remove the pump bolts, detach pump from block; some fluid will leak so keep drain pan ready. Inspect the mating surface and clean thoroughly.
- Install new pump: compare old vs new pump; install new gasket (with or without sealant as manufacturer recommends), position pump and hand-start bolts; torque bolts to factory spec with torque wrench in the recommended sequence.
- Reassemble timing components: if removed, replace the timing belt, tensioner, and idlers as required; set belt with correct tension and verify timing marks; remove locking tools.
- Reinstall covers, belts, accessories: ensure drive belt routing is correct and belt tensioners are set properly; torque pulleys and bolts to spec.
- Refill cooling system: refill with correct coolant mixture using a funnel; some bleeding may be required to remove air pockets (bleed screw or run engine with radiator cap off until thermostat opens, topping up coolant as needed).
- Check for leaks and proper operation: run engine to normal temperature, monitor for leaks, listen for bearing noise, check temperature gauge, re-torque bolts after a short run if manufacturer recommends.
- Dispose of old coolant and parts per local regulations.

- Why replacement parts may be required and what to replace
- Water pump: replace if leaking, noisy, or when replacing timing belt on belt-driven pumps. Replacement recommended due to worn bearings/seals.
- Gasket/O-ring: always replace to ensure a reliable seal.
- Timing belt/tensioner/idlers: replace together with water pump if it’s timing-belt-driven, because you must remove the belt and these parts wear on the same interval; failure later risks engine damage.
- Thermostat: recommended replacement when the cooling system is opened because a failed thermostat can mask cooling issues and is inexpensive insurance.
- Drive belt(s): inspect for glazing/cracks; replace if worn.
- Hoses and clamps: replace if soft, swollen, cracked or brittle to avoid future leaks.

- Important tips and cautions
- If the water pump is timing-belt-driven and you do not have cam/crank locking tools and experience, do not attempt it if you cannot verify and set timing accurately — incorrect timing can cause severe engine damage.
- Always use a torque wrench on critical bolts (water pump, crank bolt, cam bolts) — over- or under-tightening can cause leaks or failure.
- Keep fasteners organized and take photos during disassembly for reassembly reference.
- Use OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts; cheap pumps often fail early.
- If you are a complete beginner and the job requires timing belt removal and timing alignment tools, consider having a professional workshop perform the replacement or supervise you.

- Final checklist before finishing
- Check all hoses and clamps are secure.
- Confirm no tools left in engine bay.
- Ensure coolant level is correct and system bled of air.
- Test drive and re-check coolant level, look for leaks, and re-torque if instructed by the manufacturer.

- If you don’t have the specialty tools or confidence
- Required specialty tools: pulley puller, cam/crank locking tools, torque wrench and possibly other timing alignment tools.
- Why that matters: these tools are required to remove pulleys safely and to set engine timing precisely. Improper timing or damaged pulleys can lead to a non-running engine or internal engine damage.
- Recommended action: bring the job to a workshop if you lack the tools and experience — they will have the correct toolkit, torque specs, and procedures for your exact Getz engine.

End — follow workshop/service manual for your exact Hyundai Getz engine for torque values, belt routing, and specific timing procedures.
