the camera work is just the best quality

[@paulleggett9735]

Great video but I need advice. You take the engine mount off, then later the car is up in the air? Is there nothing supporting the engine on the Cambelt side when on the lift?

[@LazloNQ]

Thank you for this video. I did the water pump replacement on my 1999 Ford Contour with the 2.0 and the pump was stuck so bad after being in there since 2012 and around 70k miles. What I did is got a pry bar under the 4 bolt flange, ran it up so I was leveraging on the engine mount, and put a ratchet strap on it that went over and hooked to the driver's side fender (car was slightly wrecked so no big deal) - then using a brass drift, pounded on it just like you did and after a few whacks the pump finally shot out! It broke the plastic vaned pump disc, but it did some out and I got my free replacement one from O'Reilly's to sinch the deal.

[@guysteel]

Do you only need the engine support jack when uninstalling / installing the motor mount? I see it's not in place when the car is up on the lift. Thank you. Very well spoken narration.

[@A0d0i00]

Super movie. There are many videos on YT dealing with this topic, but I am delighted that you describe this exchange so accurately. Great respect for a good job, not one man should learn from you. I wish you every success.

[@Trupics]

Working on it tomorrow, thank you for this video. Love her accent.

[@MikeHull4855]

Great how to on this water pump, covered everything well, great camera views and good explanation for why you are doing it the way you're doing it. I'll definitely be watching more of your videos.

[@clutch5sp989]

Best tool I've bought was a Devalt 3/8" 12v impact driver. If you plan on doing more than one repair; it's worth it. Why they don't make the right angle driver is a mystery, but Crapsman offers a good one and has worked well. Makes a repair a little less miserable. Brr Brr Brrrr...all done. Always go back with a ratchet to check tightness !

[@joeboogiewiddahoodie6980]

THANK YOU THANK YOU water pump is being picked up and this process is about to start I appreciate y’all

[@1AAuto]

+joseph gibson Thanks for the great feedback!

[@tdrewman]

That car needed a timing belt too. If you look up How to Replace Timing Belt 00-04 Ford Focus, she is taking everything apart again and changing the time timing belt.

[@kd5nrh]

Was kind of disappointed they edited out the water pump change during that one and then spliced things back together to make this video. It's kind of a no brainer to do both together when either needs replacing because of the hassle of getting everything out of the way. Also a good time to replace the serpentine and its pulleys. (Trust me, you don't want to have a serpentine tensioner die in the middle of nowhere at night. Finding one and then replacing it on the side of the road sucks.) Plus a failed water pump can leak into the timing cover, which isn't good for the belt or the pulleys.

[@bmwbryan1]

Thanks guys. Its always nice seeing someone else doing what your about to do even if you do know what your doing, especially when its the exact same car same year same engine haha 👌

[@michaelunderhill5497]

Like putting 2+2 on the calculator 😂 just in case

[@ulyssesjones6096]

great video just wish this went into further detail regarding bleeding the coolant system. Not sure if theres a bleeder valve for this specific cars coolant system or what, and im getting mixed feedback on how to go about bleeding the system of air before turning the car on. Im doing the alternator, waterpump, tensioner pulley, and idler pulley so i just need to know how to bleed the coolant system before i can move onto changing the oil and oil filter and then taking it out on its maiden voyage lol

[@chasewayne241]

I love this lady

[@johnm.8742]

I enjoyed watching your video. Excellent teaching skills and camera work. There were a few times that I was thinking, "I wish they would move camera a little more over to see that bolt hole" and the camera would move right then to get a better shot. Thanks! Subscribing.

[@joehyundaitech7961]

Hi sue I have the same impact wrench as you used to remove the wheel in this video

[@freakinme10]

Great video , All the 1A Auto Parts are terrific . How about that timing belt , by the looks of it replacing it will be next video =)

[@stevefernandez661]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video.

[@philipnewton7942]

Great video You make these jobs look so easy but doing it yourself after watching these videos will save us hundreds of english pounds in garage cosy Just brilliant stuff live this chanel Phil i n stoke on UK

[@btd2516]

Love that torque wrench, what kind and where did you get it? I have several clickers and an old beam type which still gets used now and then.

[@stevenbond8168]

Nicely done she made it easy to understand and it made it easy for me to follow when changing out my own water pump on the same exact car engine ! Thanks

[@xaviergonzalez5145]

Nice video! Congratulations! Great detail in every step!

[@luisalejandrorodrigueznola2616]

Excelente trabajo y que costo tiene la bomba de agua yo tengo este problema , en mi focus 2001 saludos ..

[@NoahDoane]

These are such solid little cars. Cheap, easy to work on, and reliable (as long as you didn't get the SPI motor lol)

[@SunriseLAW]

2003 Ford Focus zx3. I replaced my water pump. You do NOT need to remove the engine mount. Jack car up in front, place your jackstands. Remove the passenger front wheel and the backing material. Take off serpentine belt. Unbolt the water pump. It fits into the car like a 3-d puzzle. You have to put it into the hole and turn it exactly right as you feed it in, there is maybe a millimeter clearance and exactly one way it feeds in. I would have said impossible' but I actually did it successfully.

[@pumpedupone]

Whoever this woman is I wish should could fix my car! Really knows what to do correctly!

[@joshuanelsen8602]

I just had my water pump go out. Pepboys told me it would be a 4hour job and cost 730 dollars. Interesting that it only takes 30 minutes and not 4 hours.

[@nerdyup700]

Joshua Nelsen - 100% - a mom and pop told me $300 which was ok, but this looks pretty simple. Great video

[@finebooty1]

Video is edited you plumb, running up bleeding and testing can take half hour on it's own, let alone remove and replace! A sensible time would be approx 1.5 hours to do the job thoroughly

[@mrk7201]

@@finebooty1 Exactly another 20 minutes half hour for test drive

[@milotorres6894]

350 max new pump included and new belt if needed 2 hrs. max ,maybe that included new timing belt while opened up 500 for additional labor and parts.,✌️🤔😔🙏❄️

[@CarlosAguilar-de8rq]

Pep boys loves to over charge and not pay the few good techs they have accordingly never waste your time or $ there most techs there aren't qualified to do the job I've seen brake pads that have been put on backwards, transmissions being drained confused with oil drain plug, brakes being bled with drums off and calipers off hahahaha the list goes on it's a dam playground just don't do it!!

[@Blabbermouthwoodworking]

Yep this is the way to do it , The most important part is to lower the motor all the way to get that water pump pully out .

[@mrk7201]

Good job young lady

[@silkyg3400]

Great job and video thanks!

[@devinw1207]

I did this today and the bolt heads broke off and now I have to figure out how to remove them in such a tight space. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I only had the bolts torqued to 5 ft lbs when this happened

[@eljaxon]

Wow I've seen a lot of videos to do this, but this is by far the best one I've seen. So clear and each step explained carefully. Thank you so much. I'll be watching this a few times before I tackle mine. Quick question, if under high pressure, the coolant is coming out at a rate from the water pump, would that just be the water pump or is it likely to be the housing for it as well? Thank you so mucjm

[@lukefisher1858]

Thank goodness for this video.... Our coolant bolt was actually 11mm LOL

[@superkari28]

hi did you put back the motor mount when you lift the car? or its posible to lift the car without the motor mount?

[@vdub19681]

Awesome tutorial!!! Thank

[@mikedavis9923]

Timing belt looks minty fresh. No way it needs replaced.

[@Big_Joe570]

There has GOT to be an easier way!

[@christianhildenbeutel1026]

Thanks for the video you saved me hundreds. You rock 👍✌️

[@harrypatchell88]

How did you raise the car with the engine jacked up?

[@blaselaihipp1276]

Why did you change the water pump? Was it leaking?

[@spacex2323]

Good job

[@joelvarelajr6495]

How are you holding the engine while the car is up over head?

[@daniellehouillier1113]

Hi.great job showing thé Way you do thé replacement.defenetly look more of tour vidéo..good job 👌

[@ypautomotriz]

hellow, what liquid you use for clean pulley pump?

[@bradprice8040]

I was making a guess at what my problem might be when my temp spiked and a yellow warning light came on. I had some smoke/steam blowing but it was on the other side. I added water and it seemed fine. I came here looking to see how hard it would be to repair but this work is taking place on the opposite side from the part I was thinking is the issue. Not sure how to proceed now.

[@Bmw4Life88]

Super Video!!

[@jtv3935]

Thank you

[@damianmarin8602]

me encanta,

[@michaelfrazier899]

Fantastic tutorial. She has a great attitude. Fun to watch and listen to…if my wife was like her, we’d work on so much stuff together and have so much fun all at the same time

[@joehyundaitech7961]

wow that timing belt is in need of replacement

[@nellyps3]

Where do I get the housing for the water pump?! I have a 2002 SE dohc Ford Focus.

[@jeffcuevas5918]

Great video

[@1AAuto]

+Jeff Cuevas Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@hardykembara9003]

This same 2002 Ford focus right

[@97warlock]

so you can replace water pump on this car WITHOUT removing the tiiming belt? had several people tell me on this car,which is same as mine both belts have to come off & will have to redo timing also ....just to replace the pump.

[@milotorres6894]

Excellent job great inside info on this replacement thank you.,👍😊😎✌️🙏❄️

[@lawrencemasuku6101]

God bless her

[@misaelsanchez2327]

Is the same engine of a escort zx2?

[@stuartraydroge5021]

Same concept, slightly different displacement. The focus uses either the 2.0 dohc to the 2.3 dohc. This should be the same though

[@lancebryan5596]

Hello, I’m having trouble finding any videos about mercury mountaineers and the lift gate handle or latch not working. More than anything I would like to know how to take off the interior panel for the lift gate. Please help me 1A Auto

[@nghisus]

3 out of 4 bolts stripped, highly suggest having M6 helicoils. And compare bolts that come with the new water pump to the old one, the new bolts in my kit was shorter.

[@1AAuto]

+Nghisus Thanks for the feedback!

[@barbarinotorres7336]

No necesitó silicona alrrededor?

[@1AAuto]

+Barbarino Torres Thanks for checking us out! Silicon is not needed with this replacement as the gasket will keep things sealed when it is bolted down.

[@adejolaolivera9910]

like from Uruguay. Have you some video about motor endura-de desing for ford. I have escort 1998 gas-oil. sorry for my english

[@1AAuto]

+Adejola Olivera We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@slammedls400]

This can be easily done from the top side.

[@1mexikaner]

Instead of changing out that water pump/serpentine belt like she said I'd be more worried about that timing belt that way it's cracked and all...

[@toniapaulsen6194]

Can anyone tell me if the 2000 factory installed water pump impeller is plastic or metal? My dad is trying to diagnose a problem for me and he needs to know. TIA

[@bills396]

At 12:13 in the video we see the vehicle raised with the technician under it and yet the engine is not falling out of the car even though the passenger side motor mount has been removed. Please explain how to do this.

[@mrk7201]

There are other Mount holding

[@kingreyna]

I'm in the process of doing a water pump and know why it has all that gasket maker. That o- ring doesn't seal. It doesn't press against the housing. It constantly leaks and pours out the water. May just have to glob it up with some permatex. Very irritating problem.

How is she supporting the engine while she has it raised into the air? The Jack is holding it when near the ground...??

[@christomartindale]

How to replace water pump on 2002 Ford Focus

[@gazza9919]

Thats such a long winded way of doing it. I mean if it works for you then it works but there are honestly quicker ways of doing it. I just dropped the engine onto a jack and replaced the alternator belt and water pump. No need to take the wheel off, remove the coolant resivua or even remove the whole engine mount

[@97warlock]

7:42 TB Cover is OFF 8:03 tb COVER IS on NOW THATS WEIRD

[@2008DJEvolution]

that timing belt though

[@TheAndy331]

Came here to see how many people seen that timing belt 😮

[@Rat_Dessert]

hey dad you in here watching this lol

[@marianluc6235]

Yep ford using the 18 mm why in the world they don't put a 19 mm.

[@KGisthename]

Are you being serious?

[@rjasontwenty1099]

thanks, now i know why i have to pay that much....another time i buy another car if water pump is being involved lol

[@pedrosanchez-xg9mb]

Ford couldn't leave at least a 1inch gap between engine and frame to get the pump out more easily 🙄

[@russelllovett4272]

has this car been sitting in the garage for 19 years, or is this your dummy car you work on for videos? please do a video on one that's been driven in Ohio for 19 years with rusty bolts and corrosion and build up from many years of fluid leaks. thanks!

[@1AAuto]

+Russell Lovett Thanks for watching! The vehicles used in our videos are used in everyday life by employees or ones that are purchased to work on.

[@solo9619]

[@purpledoge4466]

That timing belt has soo many cracks is nor funny,maybe shows us how to replace it?

[@adrianprado1099]

my water pump is so hard on there that it literally will not come off

[@josephherron7671]

You should REALLY change that timing belt while you're in there. That belt is shot and if it breaks it's going to trash those valves. That's an interference engine. Don't put that off.

[@slicknslidin4124]

Not an interference engine

[@steveobeanz76]

Someone at least put money back in that car

[@frankmontez6853]

2016 Focus SE 2.0L duratech engine . gotta ask this dumb question - Can bad water pump mix water and oil together ? I think it's totally bogus . yeah I know it can ruin engine by overheating but not this right ? Bogus claim by this "mechanic" that bad pump cause water and oil to mix?
