{"product_id":"water-pump-assembly-12","title":"Water Pump Assembly","description":"The Ford AT4Z-8501-CA is a genuine Ford water pump assembly, ensuring reliability and longevity as it is built to Ford's exacting standards and undergoes rigorous quality control testing. Designed as a direct replacement, this part is new and comes with Ford's factory warranty.\n\nThis water pump assembly features a dual-tooth water pump sprocket for efficient operation. It is compatible with a range of Ford and Lincoln vehicles from model years 2011 to 2019, including the Ford Edge, Explorer, Flex, Fusion, and Taurus, as well as the Lincoln MKS, MKT, MKX, and MKZ. Specific engine and transmission compatibility details are available for each vehicle application.\n\nInstallation of this water pump is a critical maintenance task. For vehicles like the 2016 Ford Edge, after installation, the cooling system should be refilled and bled, and the engine operated to check for leaks. For some models, such as the 2012 Ford Fusion four-cylinder, additional steps may be required, including removing the front wheel, fender splash shield, and water pump pulley before accessing the pump. If the water pump is stuck during removal, gently tapping it with a soft-faced hammer is recommended.\n\nThis part replaces OE numbers AA5Z8501C and AT4Z8501CA, and it is noted that when Ford updates part numbers, the new part is typically a direct bolt-on without specified modifications. The water pump assembly itself includes the necessary gasket for installation.","brand":"Ford \/","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52688414769464,"sku":"AT4Z-8501-CA","price":86.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/664711054.jpg?v=1784889809","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/water-pump-assembly-12","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
