New Engine Water Pump from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/TYEWP00001
This video shows you how to install a water pump on your 2004-2006 Scion xB. The water pump keeps coolant flowing through your engine. Common failures of the water pump will leave the coolant leaking, or stagnant. Both will lead to overheating if left untreated. Install a new engineered to fit water pump from TRQ for total peace of mind.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2004 Scion xB
2005 Scion xB
2006 Scion xB

Your video saved me so much money and time! Very much appreciated it. Followed it step by step and changed the water pump no problem.

I just finished this job on my kids 2006 Scion xB. I couldn't have done it without the excellent and detailed way this video explained it. Initially, I was nervous because taking out engine mounts usually means it's no easy task. For me the things I found a bit challenging was adjusting the height of the engine to get to alternator and then dropping it to get access to water pump itself. Make sure you clean up any left over gasket residue from enginesurface. Slip on the gasket first, then slide in the new pump right after. Properly tighten all bolts and nuts on pump. The other challenging thing I had was adjusting the engine height to screw on the engine mount. First take care of the three 14mm screws on the engine mount, then move on to the others. Overall, this job isn't complicated and anyone with basic tools and mechanical knowledge can do this. Follow the video instructions and you'll be good. I will be monitoring for any leaks and looking out for the temperature light if it goes off. Hopefully all will be ok. I took it for a test drive with the heater on full blast and then with ac and no issue's detected. Job took me about two hours but i was taking my time too.

Amazing video . Very informal . Thank you for pulling bumper off, for we can have a better look.

[@dannyferguson9415]

Thank you! Great vid. I would not have been able to do it without you.

Question......at timeline 3:34....when you start taking out the 2x, 14mm bolts of the engine mount....which holds "the mount to the engine". Can we stop right there to give the engine some up/down wiggle room necessary to remove the pump ( mostly DOWN)? Meaning...is it stll necessary to remove the other pieces of the "other-part" of the mount...that part that is screwed to the chassis?...as you did? I don't relish having to take so much of the mount apart if I can avoid it. That all said, the amount of axial space to pull out the pump is mighty small before you contact a square-tube-chassis-member....so I get it....the centerline of the pump needs to be above or below this part of the car chassis to allow clearance for removal and re-insertion of the pump ( or does it?....maybe taking less of the engine mount apart "only" makes the rest a tougher slog?). My point?...at around timeline 7:54 - 8:03 or so, the critical thing is LOWERING the motor for access to the pump...and it seems removing the topside (2X) 14mm bolts on the "engine-side" of the motor mount..... will do this. It seems the pre-steps you did can stll be done without removing the entire mount.....right? (LATER EDIT...I later finished up my work and ofund this--->. If all you want to do is LOWER the engine ( which, by the way....works to gain access for pump replacement), you remove the two, 14mm bolts on the passenger motor mount that are CLOSEST to the engine.... AND.....also remove the 14mm nut from the underside of the car on this mount. Leave the 3 bolts of this mount that attach to the fender/chassis. Works,,...and you remove the worry also of messing with thr AC lines attached to the fender/chassis side of that mount.

Great Video. It's a challenging job, and thanks for explaining in detail. Is it possible to make one for Scion xD?

[@kumingo]

Thanks very detailed video.

[@fz6rider072]

Nobdy noticed the white petcock at the begining and the black one at the end

[@Avotic]

Do you have to drop the engine to do this or can you do it wothout removing all the engine mounts?

[@carlosreyes-br7pz]

But my scion doesn't have a temperature gauge how do I know if it is hotter than normal .

[@tragicnbad]

best video for this job. very detailed, but my temperature gauge is a idiot light.

[@TRQ]

+tragicnbad Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

Funny.....as you drain the coolant ( 1:00-1:37)...it is immediately obvious a GREEN fluid is coming out, the normal "Prestone" style.....the exact WRONG kind of engine coolant to use for Japanese cars. Best to use the pink/red kind made for these cars...and Xerex Aisian Formula is perfect ( as an example), and costs a lot less than if you bought it from Toyota. I see you filled up with the wrong stuff at the end (20:05), too.. That all said, Overall......Nice vid, by the way.....

[@TRQ]

+Wil Ferch Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team. 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@reynaperez3211]

The 04xb doesn’t have a temp gauge that’s the hard part

[@projectgermscanner9569]

Petty cool 😎

[@naughtysmurf64]

Should have shown how to bleed the radiator system.......

[@harrowgateguy]

Clean up any spilled antifreeze. It has some kind of smell that makes animals think it is edible when it is actually quite poisonous

I'm glad we are moving to electric cars. This is so unnecessarily complicated
