Very best video on the internet for the water pump replacement very nice job buddy

[@TheShopLLC40]

Thank you try to give everyone a visual to help understand whats going on while your in the car feeling with your hands lol

[@darrelthom5778]

Thank you so much for doing this video. Everything looks so much easier when you get to see it outside the car. Excellent job. I have a 2006 Pontiac Solstice 2.4l. You are going to save me so much frustration.

[@mattkork]

Thank you for the video, I'm doing this job right now (engine still in car) and the video really helps show where the bolt locations are since they are really hard to see otherwise.

[@TheShopLLC40]

That was my goal. Glad i can help out. Good luck with the job. It isnt too bad especially when you have an idea of what your doing

He didn't show the installation of the timing tool.

[@TheShopLLC40]

I did show it, and showed where & how it goes.

[@HuskerRed11]

Nice. What would one expect to pay a mechanic to do this? A good guesstimate.

[@TheShopLLC40]

depending on the shops labor rate it's a 3-4hr job + coolant & water pump your probably around 500-700

[@HuskerRed11]

@TheShopLLC40 Dang. Ok thanks for the reply.

[@TheShopLLC40]

No problem, always down to answer questions where i can

[@davidhouston5783]

Remove the engine to replace the water pump what happened to easy fix like on the older cars the water pump was on the engine.

[@TheShopLLC40]

Lol You don’t have to remove it. I was doing a used engine replacement and we replace the water pump & thermostat so we can keep the warranty on the engine. Did a video to show for the ppl who do the water pump in the car so they have a better idea

[@TheShopLLC40]

Definitely a pain in the ass job to do though in the car

[@davidhouston5783]

@@TheShopLLC40 Thanks for clearing that up

[@steveh1256]

I have yet to see a video made on doing this in car. Add a turbo on the 2.0 engine and this is a MF of a job

[@TheShopLLC40]

@steveh1256 i do them in the car all the time. I was just trying to get everyone a better look at from outside and not reaching up and just feeling. Next one i get in ill make a video of it being done in car

[@kjsteeljr87able]

This sucks with the engine in the car!

[@TheShopLLC40]

I do them all the time, after the 2-3rd one it gets easier.

[@TheShopLLC40]

First time definitely sucked 😂😂

[@kjsteeljr87able]

@TheShopLLC40 For sure. If I had to so it again. I could cut the time in half.
