How to replace water valve on Altima 2002? Does it need a new gasket as well? Any sealant to use? No hot air, already replaced thermostat, bleed the radiator. Read on the forum, that water valve may be failed.

Water Valve? What is your particular problem? Do you mean water pump?

Hey there,

Does it have heat when you rev it up or while cruising?

I'm guessing you have a 2.5 in that case there is a gasket that is needed to replace the valve and make sure the new valve is installed the same way the old one came out.

Most common problem is air in the system if a vacuum system was not used to refill the system.
