How to replace the water pump on a 4efe

Usually you would need a hoist to do this, but today im going to show you how to do this on the ground with basic tools.

This video saved my life. Thanks, Matt.

Hey mate, my '97 model is coming up an 210k kms and has some issues that need fixing. Nice job mixing and matching the footage from the engine stand with the in-car stuff. This video is going to come in super handy as reference material. Thanks man, subbed.

i prefer to jack the engine up, remove the timing side mount /upper timing cover, mount bracket and use spanners / sockets to just change the front of the pump, removing the intake manifold and alternator to remove the entire rear pipe assembly feels like extra work. :( i dont mess with that rear pipe unless the o-ring needs changing.

[@Planag7]

Currently trying to do it with mine and I just saw him take out the intake and I'm utterly confused why you need to do that.. I just have that 1 bolt to take off I'm trying to figure out how to take off the bracket

[@ScuzzySera]

First time I did one of these was from underneath the car on jackstands, laying on my back in a pool of coolant and oil... christ what a hassle, but doable.

[@MattBerrymotorsport]

Ahh i remember those days, being itchy afterwards hahah

[@malengestyles]

Good job mate, my Spacio has a similar leak so I this was just what I wanted to confirm

[@Theeclipseeee]

I hate this steel pipe in the engine cooling system because every time I remove the pump it leaks. Last time I just filled it with sealant and installed it.

Boost it all the way to New Zealand....

fuckin legendary video bloke, was a piece of piss to change out 👍

[@samellis9492]

Hey matt , is that a 5efe in that starlet? And is it worth changing them to that from the 4efe? Powerwise i mean

[@MattBerrymotorsport]

Not really , not to mention how hard they are becoming to find.... Aftermarket cams alone in a 4e will out perform a stock 5e easily!

[@andrew1977au]

Talk about doing it the long way, it's easy to get to....technique and the right tools. 😝

[@MattBerrymotorsport]

You are relentless

Bro is that nicks 180 in the background ? Hope your good my brother!

[@MattBerrymotorsport]

Nah bro a customers one, just wired up a Haltech for him :D Im going well man, same to you... Charlie dropped in yesterday!

[@kio9922]

About how long did it take you to do this with the engine still in the car? And was it 2 of you or only you who did all work?

[@MattBerrymotorsport]

Took longer to film and make the video than it did to replace the water pump... I can do them in about 20min without pulling the intake manifold off... Its a one man job

[@kio9922]

@@MattBerrymotorsport 😂 20 mins huh...I might have to do this soon so I'm looking for the quickest and easiest method with the engine still in the car. I'd assume that removing the intake manifold gives easier access based on what I see, but if it's possible to work without removing it, then would I need any special tools? (All I have are hand tools like ratchets and spanners...no power tools like you 😕)

[@MattBerrymotorsport]

@@kio9922 yeah 20 minutes, ive got a video removing the cylinder head in under 10 minutes lol know my way around these engines well! you definitely can do it without removing the manifold, its just easier if you do so that you can see what you're doing.

[@kio9922]

@@MattBerrymotorsport oh ok great. I like to see what I'm doing 😂 Thanks for the tips and info man! I'll definitely check out your other vids too. I could use a little more knowledge from a pro like you 😎👌
