Lexus IS250/350 Water Pump Replacement (2006-2013)

[@skrattprime3453]

Bro. You are a lifesaver for the DIY Guys.

[@robwarren71]

Thanks you for this video! It was extremely helpful in replacing my son's water pump in this car.

[@RodriguezRepairs]

I am glad I was able to help you!

[@jeffumbach]

Definitely filled me with confidence to tackle this myself when it comes time to replace the pump again on my car.

[@blakebiltwell5]

Thanks for sharing! Where did you get that tool to prevent the pulley from spinning while trying to remove it?

[@John-py6ru]

What about the inner gaskets of the water pump? Mine were smashed up and barely hanging on. You didn’t mention it. There is one on the inlet and outlet to the engine. I’m only asking as I’m replacing the water pump on a 2006 IS350 and when I was cleaning they were right there. Any info is appreciated.

Great video!! Any chance to know where’s located the crankshaft position sensor? Lexus is250 2008

[@RodriguezRepairs]

if you have an email, i can send you the diagram of where its located!

[@javier9946]

I'm trying to write it but I think my comment is deleted 🤷‍♂️

[@shanesmith2616]

Great video, really helpful.. thanks

I personally would have drained the coolant from the radiator drain and the engine block drain before pulling the hoses off. Would have been far less messy and less coolant smell when you finish the job and start the car.

[@RodriguezRepairs]

yes, thats a great alternative!

[@jeffumbach]

Same thought and I think I would remove the undercover so any spillage goes right down into a catch basin instead of getting the foam on the topside of the undercover all wet. Plus if you drop a socket or bolt it most likely will land on the floor instead of getting lost in in the engine bay and making you need to remove the undercover anyway.

[@frankradcliff660]

Yes buy have you ever had the petcock fail? Happened twice to me. I stopped doing that.

[@michaelle2225]

For the lock tight step, would you lock tight just c’s or all

[@RodriguezRepairs]

just the C bolts

[@benztech5075]

why not draining the rad at the bottom so you don't splash all connectors?

[@RodriguezRepairs]

Yes, that is a great option 👍🏼

[@gilbertoherrera4387]

Is this the same process for a 2015 gs350 ?

[@stunnamrsports]

SUPER DUPER DIY🤘

[@RodriguezRepairs]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@nehemiahflowers6286]

Great video!!

[@RodriguezRepairs]

Thank you! im glad you found the video useful!

[@toyotatundra0455]

Did you flush the antifreeze and what is the best way to bleed air out?

[@RodriguezRepairs]

the best way to let the air bleed out is to use a coolant funnel set, it contains the fitting for the radiator and you can put a funnel over it. The weight of the coolant is going to bleed the air out, you let the vehicle run about 15 with the funnel on, then remove it and install radiator cap. After making sure the fans are operating at the correct temperature, turn the car off, let is cool down, then add coolant in case you still need any

[@toyotatundra0455]

@@RodriguezRepairs Thank you. It took a while to remove all the bolts and nuts. It's done. I'll add the pink coolant. This video is a money saver.

[@joecox9958]

very nice thanks! but missing some torque values

[@Itsredbaron]

10:07 everything went blurry for me when you showed us that tool cuz i definitely don’t have that lol glad incan use a flat head screw. Still following to get it fixed so far so good 🤞🏾

[@RodriguezRepairs]

How did the job go!?

[@Itsredbaron]

@@RodriguezRepairsi put everything back. But when i started the car and put it it in drive, the car stalled on me. I dont know what i did wrong. Feel like there is a plug or something i missed 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@N9olan]

@9:41, may you tell me what brand and model of spanner wrench you have?

[@RodriguezRepairs]

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the brand is Blue Point, but let me check for sure and get back to you!

[@NewBeginningNewCreation]

What do you do with the coolant that is still in the funnel after burping??

[@RodriguezRepairs]

you use the stopper and put it in the funnel to stop the coolant from falling all over the place, then you drain it in a container and store it

[@NewBeginningNewCreation]

@@RodriguezRepairs oh OK thanks I've never used one of those

[@NewBeginningNewCreation]

@@RodriguezRepairs just finished up changing my water pump your video was extremely helpful.

[@geoffjacobs267]

Any info on belt removals?

[@808G8GT]

Drain all the coolant first.

[@realtimeshadow]

Do you acually need to, or can you just top it off?

[@JDomino]

What bristle disc is that? Any info you can give me? Great video by the way!!!

[@elizabethrowlands9419]

plastic , from ebay .

[@chrismartinez7759]

What tool did you use to clean the surface

[@RodriguezRepairs]

Its called a Bristle disk!

[@anthonyalcaraz7318]

They should have started Ritter QB for the whole game From the beginning of that gameTo see what he can do

[@carlosmurillo767]

Great video, thank you.

[@RodriguezRepairs]

Glad you liked it!

[@StarBoy-nb4yd]

5:36 what’s the name of that hose you removed?

[@RodriguezRepairs]

Thats the lower radiator hose

[@yansiuzd1268]

God job !!

[@RodriguezRepairs]

Thank you!

[@itzkwayzz]

What kind of brush is it?

[@RodriguezRepairs]

is the 1 inch Bristle Disc, 50 grit

[@onedrop6011]

How did you remove the belt

[@RodriguezRepairs]

via the serpentine belt tensioner, relief the tension using a socket on the pulley and then the belt should come lose!

[@alexserrano7770]

Gracias

[@RonDaG0at]

I really want to do this by myself but i know im going to fuck up😭 but i don’t want to pay $1000 at the dealer or any shop

[@tarasmiddleton]

I want to know how long it took him to do this

[@RonDaG0at]

@@tarasmiddletonprobably 2 hours because the video is almost 30 min long. Plus taking out the parts one by one, plugging and unplugging tubes. Cleaning the screws and then trying to figure what goes back in. Seems kinda difficult but i feel like if people who knows and understand this.. it’ll take them like an hour👌🏼

[@rafael556]

It’s a pretty easy job good starter job to learn to work on your car.

[@anthonyalcaraz7318]

Why didn't the keep Jasmine Ritter in her the whole time they should have put him in there first and see what he could have done and I think we'd been better off not put I meant you played and put him at the end when we're losing to play and then quickly delete this tweet
