How To Replace a Water Pump and Save $783

Water pump replacement DIY. Learn how to replace a water pump at home using common hand tools. I was able to easily replace this water pump in under an hour and saved $783.
Replacing the water pump on many cars is not difficult and this is a perfect example of an easy to replace water pump. You could do this entire job without any special tools and I spent under $60 in parts which is unbelievable after getting the $843 quote from the Jaguar dealership. I will also do a video on a more difficult water pump so you can see what is involved in that as well.
Thanks PEAK for the coolant product placement in this video!

For daily updates, definitely follow me on Instagram: Instagram.com/ChrisFixit The Dream Car video is coming but because it is a very special video for me, I want to make sure it is amazing, so it is taking a little longer than I thought to film and edit (you will see why when it comes out). In the meantime, I filmed and edited this water pump video to bridge the gap. I actually edited this video during my 2 week long road trip where I had meet-ups for you guys in Cincinnati, Indy, and Chicago! As always thank you for the support and stay tuneeeeeed! P.S. Here is a link to the first every DIY video I did on my channel to help people: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIXPZ4iEgrCdgsU

Excellent video, you have a great down to earth "keep it simple" mentality. I did the pump in my wife's 2005 Yukon. The shop wanted $750 to do it. For $262 total in parts, including new thermostat, upper radiator hose and serp belt, and a few hours (my first time, I wanted to take my time and do it right) it was worth the $490 savings. It's run like a champ since, she's made several long distance trips with it and not a drop of leakage.

A little trick I've used in my almost 30 years as a professional factory trained technician is while it's sitting there with your spill proof funnel full, grab the rad hoses and squeeze them quite a few times so the coolant pulsates in the system and it'll almost 100% bleed your system before you've even started your vehicle.. It's so simple and I've never encountered a vehicle this didn't work on.

I had to stop my hand from trying to reach through my phone to try and pet your dog. lol Also, I had a drain plug shear off and didn't have an OEM radiator. So I put steel stick in the drain plug to seal it. It stopped the leak, but my engine was still overheating. I did some trouble shooting and some googling. I narrowed it down to either my thermostat or my water pump. After watching your video on the thermostat, I pulled my thermostat and it wasn't bad, in fact it was almost new. (About 1 1/2 years old) So then I watched this video. I'm currently replacing my water pump. I go to your channel for all of my car maintenance questions. A mechanic will tell you is a 3 hour job and needs a bunch of specialty tools. (fan clutch) In reality Joe Smoe (me) can do it with basic tools in 30-40 minutes. Your tutorials are the best.

Great video Chris, lots of good tips. The only thing I would add while adding coolant and letting the bubbles run out is to squeeze the coolant hoses to help bubble air out. This is recommended in most manuals that I have read.

[@edcreasia8961]

After starting the engine, I usually turn the heater on high to circulate the coolant through the heater core.

[@dunebasher1971]

That only helps if your car uses an old-fashioned heater valve system, where coolant is only diverted through the heater core when you turn the heater on. Many cars these days are designed so that the coolant is always flowing through the heater core. When you turn the heater on, you're not changing the coolant flow, you're just opening an air door that allows the hot air from the core to enter the cabin. Every car I've owned since 1992 has used the more modern system.

[@edbo10]

my 96 camry still uses the heater valve system, you can see the cable that connects the heater dial to a valve on the coolant hose in the engine bay, the valve is located right before the firewall. Turning it all the way to cold fully shuts off the heater core from the cooling system, you can also hear a clunk which I'm guessing is an air door as well. Turning the dial just one click away from the lowest setting opens the valve very slightly however.

[@davecrupel2817]

@@dunebasher1971 the "air door" system is the way it should always be imo. I have a '97 camry that doesnt seem to have this system. Fan works on all power settings perfectly fine. But the core is not providing the necessary heat for faster airflows.

Another great informative video. My VW has been using coolant and recently got a warranty extension on the water pump. Maybe I can finally solve the mystery of the missing coolant. The mechanic just told me there's no problem if there's not a leak, and cut me off before I mentioned that I have been having to add coolant. Wish me luck dealing with these people.

Up to 230 now. I think every youtuber who has made his mark has also has collected a number of mindless haters. Consider these statistics from the US NIMH: 1.1% of adults are schizophrenic, 4% are bipolar (3/4 of them seriously), 4% suffer from rage disorder. "The prevalence of any personality disorder [is] 9.1%" It explains a lot. EDIT - it just struck me the ratio of likes to dislikes is right at 1%, the same as the prevalence of schizophrenia. An interesting coincidence, no?

Great Video Chris, I'm saving money and researching to change my timing belt, cam and crankshaft seals, tensioner, idler, and waterpump and belts myself. Your video showed me a few things others did not. Very clear, nothing rushed, and no time wasted. Keep up the videos. But I will say, I didn't find a video of yours clearly titled to show you doing the kind of job I'm going to do. I'd really like to see one though. Cheers.

[@darkspeed62]

You're sufh a legend. You are so thorough, and most of your stuff is pretty common sense... check the manual, mark this, put bolts in here sou you don't forget where they went. I remember paying £1k+ for a timing belt and water pump change. Obviously, the timing belt requires more skill than this, but this is so simple!
