2008 Hyundai Santa Fe Water Pump Replacement - Part 1

[@s2sailingfree]

Wow Tom, great HOW-TO video for anyone wanting to tackle this job on their own vehicle…such tight quarters though. I’m an old timer with ZERO patience, all I could think about while watching the video was how nice it would be to own one of those Elon Musk Flame Throwers. Lol.

[@frugalprepper]

Thanks 👍 I have a Harbor Freight propane flame thrower!

[@coolkid7500]

Thank you so much for this video! My water pump started leaking, and I an due to do my timing belt

[@frugalprepper]

I am glad the video helped!

[@deeeyewhy5949]

Is this the 3.3 or 2.7l ?

[@frugalprepper]

2.7

[@lightcapmath2777]

Tom, How will you clean out the coolant that went into the oil pan? I know coolant and bearings don't mix well...lol Thanks DVD:)

[@frugalprepper]

No coolant went in the oil pan. I is a timing belt not a timing chain, so there is no opening/drain to the oil pan.

[@lightcapmath2777]

@@frugalprepper O! ok...It just looked like it would / could drain into the oil....cool thanks DVD:)

26:40 could you have used 1/4 inch drive to continue the rest with out locking your 3/8 in that spot? I’m watching you videos now as I take this crap hole apart😢😢😢

[@frugalprepper]

You Could. Th 1/4 inch drive won't work for breaking it loose but is should work after you break it loose.

[@Sidetracker2024]

Good video Tom. Have you ever done a video on the video equipment you use to make your videos (camera(s), tripods, etc...?

[@frugalprepper]

Not yet! I just use my iphone SE and a couple of tripods though.

[@Sidetracker2024]

@frugalprepper how do you like your iPhone SE? I'm thinking of getting my first iPhone and it seems to be an affordable entry level iPhone.

[@frugalprepper]

In my main job I managed a few hundred company owned mobile devices. I thing the SE3 is great. I does 5G, and it has a real home button! I got the 256GB model. The iPhones have no way to upgrade the memory, so I got the 256GB model so if I want to start doing 4K one day, I will have enough space, but 64 would be plenty to do 1080p vids with. The front facing and rear facing cameras are great. They are also cheaper to get a battery replacement done it, because they go together like a iPhone 8.

Great Video!

[@frugalprepper]

Thanks!

[@renerodriguez181]

I sure do miss my old Chevy truck.they are so much more comfortable to work on

[@frugalprepper]

Yes they are!

[@eliasbourozrrrs8585]

You didn't show us what is wrong with the pump you took out.

[@frugalprepper]

I leaked coolant.

[@eliasbourozrrrs8585]

Very hard job

[@BruceLyeg]

Definitely not one of my favorite water pumps to change. I look forward to Part 2

[@frugalprepper]

It's not that bad. There are WAY worse ones to do. I mean once you have done one on a PT Cruiser, they all seem easy!

[@DKSE123]

Second Gen

[@tombob671]

Ironic Henry made cars that were easy to work on and even supplied a tool kit. I had a 91 Dodge minivan with a 2.5;4hanger. When replacing the v-belts and and tensioner there were a mix of fractional and metric. The working room was nil. Took me pert near a day to do a job that on a full size Chevy V8 would have been 2-3 hours. I spoke fluent Gunny Sgt the whole *'$#@@__?##@ day long

[@frugalprepper]

Yeah but Henry's cars were slow, had no AC, no radios, got worse fuel mileage, and they were a pain to drive in the rain.

[@jimmyzab5476]

I was getting a brain bleed for him. I’m doing one as I type IM ANIUT TO GET A BRAIN BLEED 😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@frugalprepper]

It wasn't that bad. I have done far worse ones.
