Did you have to bleed the coolant after installing the new water pump???

[@beans929]

This was extremely helpful. A mechanic quoted me $1200 and now I can do it myself. Thank you!

[@2zzlow]

Glad it helped

[@LinhNguyen-zm6mw]

Unfortunately, mine failed around 75,000 miles with the same issue. Toyota water pumps are the weakest point.

Thanks for the video exactly what my scion needed.. also only use toyota oem parts and coolant it’s worth it fit me t makes it easier

[@2zzlow]

Glad it helped

It seems a lot of Toyota’s water pump designs uh, borrow from nature 😂

[@2zzlow]

Lmao 🤣 foreal

[@dakota47v8]

Awesome video on waterpump replacement... Question did it make the noise constantly or intermittently...? Also is yours a stick or automatic...? I just subscribed to your channel ... 😎

[@2zzlow]

Constantly from the minute i started the car. Manual transmission

[@dakota47v8]

@@2zzlow ok thank you so much... I recently did a 2nd cat delete and resonator delete and muffler delete and I think my problem is a vibration from under the car bc I didn't have the exhaust up high enough and it is intermittently rattling off the body cross member

My gave out around the same 125k

Mines started making a noise and I'm just cracking 90k Great video, appreciated!

[@tward6630]

Good video. I’ve done the input shaft bearing too. Kind of a pain having to disassemble the whole trans to get to it too

[@justincallin9572]

Take off the wheel easier to tighten the bottom bolts

[@Senior_Roundtree28]

How long it take you to do the serpentine belt?

[@LujinCustom]

I think it’s VersaChem that sells non-dilute Toyota pink coolant. I usually buy off amazon. Kinda looks like it would be easier to access the pump through the fender well

[@2zzlow]

Your the second one to say this but if this is to beat book time I’d say to stick to this method. It only took me 1 hour even with the recording of the footage.

[@LujinCustom]

@@2zzlow dang it. Now I have to buy a tC

[@justincallin9572]

Fitment”

[@Pallidus_Rider]

Curious if you could get to the water pump from wheel well.

[@2zzlow]

You could but if this is to beat book time then I would say just go the alternator removal part. Took me no more than 1 hour to do this and that’s with the recording
