How To Replace a Water Pump and Save $783

[@chrisfix]

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

[@gmctech]

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.

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.

[@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.

[@dreadpenguinlord340]

@@dunebasher1971 Can't hurt to do it either way, if one's not sure! :)

[@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.

[@Sf_Mason]

I've done water pumps before , sometimes the gaskets don't absorb the tolerance and can still leak, moreso on older cars which might have a slight warp in the mating face. Trick to sort that is a very thin smear of liquid gasket on the paper one, both sides. Stick the coated gasket to the pump and bolt in, it should seal nicely.

[@chrisfix]

Thanks for the tip. If you use RTV dont tighten it down all of the way. You want to hand tighten it and then let it cure for an hour and then tighten it down all of the way. Otherwise it wont work to fill in any of those voids or any warping.

I like how you showed the installation process too instead of just saying “installation is the reverse of removal” because there were differences and useful info in the installation!

[@BrandonMillerRaps]

I would love to see an engine rebuild or swap from you, so informative and could help viewers make some unique cars. I wanna LS swap my isuzu amigo

That was one of the most easiest water pumps I've seen someone do. I do like that funnel set up.

if it ain't broke, fix it until it is. :-)

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. Keep it up.

[@Bikewithlove]

Thank you for your positive, supportive attitude. You’ve got a great talent & your tips really helped a lot - put in a new water pump for my 97 Malibu tonight & used the same approach with the scouring pad material you use which worked like magic cleaning up those gasket surfaces. Also used blue thread lock on the new bolts that came with the pump. Solid!

You gave me the confidence to replace my own alternator without anyone's help. Just $160 for the alternator as opposed to the $160 + $400 labor costs I would have to pay. It worked out great

[@uArea1427]

Pretty easy to change an alternator . But changing a water pump is easy but gotta be careful because some water pumps are hooked to the timing chain .

[@codyf3249]

I love how many Honda Service Department ads I get on your videos. I think they are missing the point!

[@buttercatz99]

Jeez, corporations should be sponsoring this guy. His videos are amazingly well done. Sponsors need to see this. I just logged on to get some tips to show my boys how to work on cars. Never thought I'd find anything this good. My kids can see EVERYTHING with the camera, lighting and angles.

Dealers are approaching $200 an hour for labor. A jag factory part is gonna be 2-300 or more plus all new coolant so another 1-200 for that.

[@mikemcgeady6032]

FishFind3000 200$ an hour for labor?! Where do you live?! It would only be reasonable if I’m fixing a damn Rolls Royce.

[@h0llytr0n]

I really like the way you say 'good'. It makes me feel like /I/ did something right! Your channel is the only one I've found that makes this stuff look approachable and achievable for a clueless toolless dunce like me, thank you, hope I can put some of your content into practice some day.

[@chrisfix]

I'm glad you find the videos approachable! Just keep learning and I'm sure you'll be fixing cars well in no time!

[@godinuspermi]

Super helpful! Now I know what caused my windshield to sometimes get foggy and the annoying glaring street lights. Time to fix mine. Thanks Chris.

[@ATMor2869]

Never get tired of hearing Chris say "wooder paump"😁

[@mnewt00_private]

Ohh perfect. This is just what is happening to my car. Glad I can fix it myself because Subaru is expensive

[@hahahi20]

On a Subaru the waterpump is driven by the timing belt, though. Therefore this job will be a lot harder since you will have to remove the crankpulley, the timing belt cover, and need to make sure that the engine is on time after installing the pump. Might as well replace the belt, tensioner and all the pulleys while you are in there.

[@birdbrainxzx]

ehhhhhh boxer engines are quite different than this. Subaru water pumps are typically timing belt driven, not serpentine belt driven. You have to remove the alternator, move the ac compressor and power steering pump. Then you have to remove the timing covers and remove the timing belt.

[@chrisfix]

Unfortunately Subarus will be more involved. You need to remove more parts to get to t he timing belt and then you can remove the water pump.

[@ozzypawsborneprinceofbarkness]

@@birdbrainxzx no you don't need to remove the power steering, AC or the alternator

[@sicmike2g]

I believe the water pump is no longer on the timing belt on the newer Subaru engines (FB series). If you have an FB series it may be a simple job.

[@RoxusRemo]

Probably the easiest water pump change ive seen on a car! Most cars are a good 6-8 hour job with timing belt removal and everything.

[@affanbinsaber6270]
