How to Change the Water Pump on V6 Toyota and Lexus 2GR-FE 3.5L Engine

[@andybub45]

A guy at work taught me a truck for these. You keep the rubber bands on until all of the bolts are started, then carefully cut them and slide them out, helps so you don’t have to worry about holding the gasket while you are installing.

[@banzai1015]

CCN, I am deeply grateful for this video, I am disable person. I could not afford to have this fixed to a repair shop. I took my time and watched this video over and over. The new water pump works fine. You literally saved me hundreds of dollars. Thank you so much.

[@rdharris77012]

West TX 9/2023 changed water pump 2011 Lexus RX 350, 70,000 miles. Took 20 hours total over 3 days in100 degree weather. Thanks Car Care Nut, couldn't have done it without the video. Also, thanks for the torque numbers on screen.

[@babyshaya]

Thanks for your input. I was wondering how long it would take a "non mechanic" to do this. You're a brave soul. I would never attempt this but watching this art is mesmerizing.

[@stanislav9608]

Did you follow up AMD guidelines to lift the engine. I am going to change engine Thermostat in RX350, 2015 and space is so tight that only lifting the engine will give the access to the part. I love all AMD's tutoring videos, but after watching this one, I have one concern: I am scared to put the lifter under the engine oil pan. I know how thin the metal of oil pan is and I don't think it is design to hold the engine weight. I would be more comfortable to put the lifter under more secure place. What was you experience?

[@toddsjerven3115]

I just finished this job and was so impressed by your video. I have used others but yours didn't miss a thing and included so many tips and suggestions. Just fantastic. I literally put the laptop on the top of the engine and followed you step by step and the torque numbers were an added bonus. Am now a subscriber! Keep up the great work.

Hi Jess, Good stuff. Question: did you have to fill the engine block with coolant first before filling the radiator? I’m concern that the engine operates without coolant at first, which is not good. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you much.

Awesome video dude. Tips were greatly appreciated. I followed your process to the T! For the record on a 07 V6 Camry you can get the pulley out before removing the water pump. Also, you can get all the bolts out for the bracket you mentioned we'd have to leave some bolts in. I got all out and bracket out no problem. Thanks so much! I am a beginner mechanic. I charged a customer $300 to do this job! Thanks for helping me survive in these hard times.

[@raulescobar4699]

Thank you for an excellent, instructional video! I am replacing the water pump on my 2007 Camry. I was especially glad for the details in your video. Turns out the pump I bought several months ago from the local Toyota dealer is in anticipation of replacing it is the updated one but if I had not watched your video first, I would not have know that! I replaced an idler pulley 1 year ago and it turns out that they sold me new-old stock on that pulley because it doesn't have the washer in the back. They will not replace it for me because I don't have the receipt even though I am in their system and they can tell they sold me the pulley. I also, after watching your video, decided to replace all the pulley since I'll be in there and when I spun them they made a little bit of noise. (the car has 247K miles and runs like it is new - no rust, perfect leather interior, quiet!) The dealer tells me they cannot just sell me the tensioner pulley, only the whole unit at over $300. Is that true? Can I just get the tensioner pulley through you? I would appreciate your response brother! Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos. You have been a tremendous blessing to me and my family as I have been able to do the repairs myself saving us a substantial amount of money. May God continue to bless you and your family!

[@MisterJZ]

I've done this a couple of times now for a RAV4 with a V6 and I have to say, it's one of the most satisfying repairs I have done.

[@kmclane1]

Amd, using your previous videos for inspiration and guidance I tackled this job myself a few months ago on my RX350. This video would have been awesome to have back then. Don’t understate the washer on the idler pulley, mine fell when I took it off and it was hidden on the lower control arm. The new pulley did not come with one and I thought I could borrow one from my old Tension pulley. They are not interchangeable and it is absolutely essential. Had to do much of the job twice after I found the missing washer. Other than that all went well, and I proudly earned another merit badge on my quest to be a better diy home mechanic.

[@moorfan1]

AMD, thank you for the awesome video. Couple of points for other shade tree mechanics like myself: 1. There are two block drains, one on the front bank, and one on the rear bank. Without a lift reaching the rear bank one is probably impossible. 2. AMD said he was going to quickly change the tensioner off camera. He must have magic hands. On my 2011 RAV4 I had to unbolt the A/C compressor and the alternator to move both out of the way to access the *FIVE* tensioner bolts. Complete PITA.

[@cayman9873]

[@SinnerSince1962]

I appreciate the tips you present in the video. It really helped me along. The only thing I might question is waiting so long to pull the belt off. With the wheel well access panel off, it took me all of about 30 seconds to put the idler under pressure and slip the belt over the pulley. The earlier in the process you get it removed, the less chance you have of tearing it, or getting grease or coolant on it. It also hinders vision and access to all of the other bolts you need to remove.

[@rumplestillskin6157]

I just wrapped this up on my Sienna. As it turned out I didn't need to jack the engine up, but opening up the wheel well was necessary to access some of the bolts. I can't say that this was fun, but I saved a lot of money, so thanks for the information that helped make it possible for me to accomplish the job. My Sienna has 160k miles on it, and is 14 years old. The water pump hadn't actually failed, but the bearings were a little loose and the weep holes showed some leakage and I was getting that tell-tale sound of a water pump going out. I'd rather do this at my convenience in my driveway rather than on the side of the road, so it was time well spent. The OEM water pump was $175 and the 2 aftermarket options I had ran $110 and $160. I went for the OEM considering how long the first one lasted and the small price difference between it and the better aftermarket option. I also replaced the two idler pulleys as they were loose. They had not failed, but I don't want to try this job again for another 10 years. The tensioner pulley was rock solid so I kept it. I estimate it took me 7 hours in total to get this done. I can see why the job is so expensive!

This isn't too big a deal if you can live with manually opening the doors, but the motors or the door cable will be getting weak at this age

Thanks, Jim. That is very helpful. I'm actually searching for the CE trim, as I'd prefer manual sliding doors. So good to know I'll be avoiding the cables and motor. As for water pump, I guess I'll just budge for that. 160,000 miles and 14 years is a good life I'd say.

Seeing this video has me wanting to ask how similar/difficult compared to this water pump job considering you mentioned it says to drop the engine.

[@mikechiodetti4482]

Finite details down to the hose spring clamp. A note here: if that hose and clamp are original with lots of time and miles on them, it's better to replace them NOW! You'll be glad you did. That eliminates a leak down the road that requires a new hose later. Those spring clamps are great, BUT it's been my experience that once you remove/disturb them, there will be a leak as those clamps do lose their tension, so be prepared if the clamp allows the hose to leak, just add a worm drive hose clamp leaving the spring clamp in place, so you'll have 2 clamps holding the hose so it won't leak. It works great and the hose won't leak. Other than that, nice job AMD! I have had to clean out the screw hole threads in the head or block using a tap and compressed air. Just be careful and you'll find the screws go right back in, no problem and tighten nice and easy.

Wilma don't be a tool 😂 of course this didn't take 35 minutes. But would you watch a 3-4 hr video? I didn't think so 🤣

[@carenthusiast1629]

Thank you AMD. It was more difficult than I though it would be. Get a 1/4 torque wrench, it is a must. Lifting the engine and moving down when needed was pretty easy.

I will be doing the timing belt, water pump and related on my sister's 2004 Toyota Camry xle v6. This will help.

[@Dante66894]

Perfect timing I've been needing to replace my water pump. Thanks

[@VILSONDUSEVIC]

I did this 6 years ago on my 2007 ES350. PITA!

[@Rimsy79]

What a PITA. Pretty sure the water pump will fail on my 2007 2GR-FE at some point but I won't be changing the pump myself.

[@VinhHoang-ky2ge]

Awesome AMD! Really appreciate it. Please continue the good work.

Love Toyota for the block drains.

[@Chorizomicks]

Amazing content. Hoping the A25A coolant drain n fill on a Camry is next lol since I’m due to change our 2018

Toyota Lexus = Peace of Mind. And that is invaluable.
