How to Locate the Water Pump in a 2001 Ford Focus

The Ford Focus was introduced in North American in 1999 as a 2000 model. Available in several different body styles, the 2000 Focus models were equipped with a transverse-mounted, in-line, four-cylinder engine coupled to a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, which drove the front wheels. The 2001 Focus changed little from the 2000 models. The Focus has a liquid cooling system. Coolant is circulated through the engine by an accessory belt-driven water pump mounted on the engine.
