Hi i cant really get an answer from anyone and was wondering if you could help but i have an 03 jetta 1.8t with a 5 speed manual and only in 1st gear it makes a loud clicking noise under acceleration i replaced both wheel bearings and axels and control arm bushings if you have any ideas what it is it would really help

Scotty Kilmer Did you use the Toyotas SST tool to take of the water pump pulley? Do you have a trick or alternative method?

[@sergiozamora5693]

Scotty i had a question if you have a bad water pump pulley can that cause overheating

[@christianflores3437]

Im lost. What did he jack up? How he remove alternator?

[@sethtate2079]

@@christianflores3437 he jacked up the motor because there wasnt any room. You have to raise jack up to engine, then unbolt motor mount and then raise engine just enough to have room to remove the water pump. Real pain in rear. Alternator normally has 2 bolts, power source and a ground wire to disconnect.

[@TheSirjohn2012]

Replacing a worn water pump on all front drive engines is tougher on all cars past the year 2000,regardless of what motor company brand of cars we drive. Scotty has the most informative DIY tips I've ever seen and for a backyard mechanic He's the real deal.

[@REVIEW_JUJUR]

I do agree with Scooty... Japanese cars are easy to repair. And they hav a lot of aftermarket parts too... I just spent $4 for replacing my cracked Engine Water Radiator Outlet in my Honda Accord. Replace it just take me less than 30 minutes, small amount of sealer, and a wrench. I just love Japanese Car.

[@Rick1885]

big ass American sedans are pretty easy too.

Rick1885 Never had an american sedan, in my country (Indonesia), Ford and Chevrolet are closed their brand (Bankrupcty). So their Service Centre and Parts Avaibility is so limited in here compare to Japanese Brands.

Hi Scotty! It’s always good to watch your videos! I just have a question. I have the same car on this video.

there are many electronic parts inside the dash, a solenoid or motor may be moving, or you can get a sympathetic vibration in any metal part at that speed. Try to pinpoint the area then look inside with a flashlight.

[@orionxingu1758]

Scotty I like all the videos you have done. They are great and what is more is that you don't beat around the bush, but go straight to the solutions.

[@davebarajas5308]

Great video Scotty. I've done a million of these Toyota water pumps! The bearings are trash and they'd constantly leak out of the weep holes as early as 20-30k from what I've seen, and mostly on various 4 cyl. models including Prius. They finally updated the designs on a few of them and then all of a sudden it was raining water pumps at my dealership. The easiest of gravy work and sure made for some awesome weeks on my flat rate time card after doing so many :) Now they've all been done and I'm sad :( Keep up the great videos!

[@scottykilmer]

depends where the noise is coming from. Pray it's just loose or worn fan belts, open the hood and see if they make noise when cold

[@thecookbook3321]

Best mechanic around!!

[@scottykilmer]

yes, they often do, and will often wobble back and forth when they go bad, making the belt shake which you can easily see

[@anounTT]

All your videos are so good. I love the editing and the "umph" noise.

[@a.tbrown8813]

I love your videos, always straight to the point and helpful, Thank you

[@scottykilmer]

you can, but it's hard to reach into such spots often, and removing a belt makes sure you get the right spot when the noise stops.

Good video. Quickly done water pump. The bottom bolt DOES come loose sometimes on the alternator! I suggest recycling the old coolant. Good tools make the job much easier.Noises on the engine somewhere? Use a stethoscope or a long screwdriver CAREFULLY.

[@scottykilmer]

starters do often do that, and those accords are using rather cheap starters these days. They used to last 10 years or more, now I find myself changing them out sometimes after only a couple of years on many accords

[@scottykilmer]

most ac compressor designs require removal of the whole compressor to replace the bearing inside. BUT, I've done it on a few cars with enough working room ON the car.

[@scottykilmer]

pulleys actually are two pieces molded together and the rubber molding inside em comes apart with age. My son went to UVM, beautiful country.

[@scottykilmer]

subarus often make many strange noises when that old. those boxer engines just tend to be noisy, being VW bug clone engines. They are just loud engines when aged. But do try the fan belt removal test first.

[@jameslipton8339]

What a fine Ford you have there my friend. Have the same exactly one.

[@scottykilmer]

yes, they can do that. remove all the fan belts and run it, pray the noise goes away. If not, it's inside the engine often timing belt bearings or water pumps that are belt driven do that

[@scottykilmer]

make sure the belts are very tight. But if they are, remove the belts one at a time, and when the squealing stops, it's one of those pulleys that have a bad bearing, like the water pump

[@redbarron1]

Man that sucks when they're designed so tightly like that. Would there be enough room to work if the alternator wasn't removed and did you need and air tools to get the bolts out or was a big cheater bar and socket good enough? The other two mounts were changed already which temporarily reduced vibration but i'm not sure how having the bad one in there would affect the other two newer ones because the vibration is back. Thank you very much for all the help Scotty, I really appreciate it.
