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

@@chrisfix hi Chris you’re an expert and we’ve enjoyed watching your videos for years. On a 2005 Town & Country trying to change the water pump. There are some videos out there talking about dropping the engine and yet there are those that accomplished it without doing that. Using the proper tool which I believe was a boxed wrench offset. We respect your opinion and your capability would you kindly take a look at some of these videos and see what would be the easiest way to remove that water pump because they didn’t leave enough clearance against the body rails however many were able to remove it without dropping the engine and engine, mount opening, etc., etc. It would be nice to hear your comment as you are an expert in the area of auto repair

[@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.

[@BKHolmstrom_23]

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.

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.

Take his word about the coolant being scolding hot My father burned himself to the 2nd degree because he didnt wait for the car to completely cool before working on something in engine bay, accidentaly broke a coolant line and it dumped all over his feet, this is very dangerous, save yourself the trip to the hospital and work on a cool engine

[@chrisfix]

Sorry to hear about what happened to your father, that's why safety when working on cars is very important!

Hey, my car is aircooled, too. But its waaaay cheaper. Check out "Trabant", you would never ever need a tutorial on fixing it...

[@Peepdoop]

chrysler voyager puts a large middlefinger on your face.. just to change the waterpump and the timing belt the easiest thing to do is to remove the engine

[@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!

800$ for this easy job?!!! Total rip-off, thank you Chris 👍

[@FishFind3000]

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.

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

[@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.

[@flagmichael]

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 .
