Thx Ritchie. I got a little heavy handed with a thermostat change and broke one of the two studs off the housing body so I appreciate you showing me what to expect when the new body part comes. Good luck! And I'll be watching your later posts.
This was a excellent video and it’s was just what I needed for my 2008 ES350. I figured it was my water pump when my wife drives the car she will hear a grinding noise and the car will leak fluid, she will see a little smoke from the passenger side of the vehicle and it will try to run hot. I figure that the propeller in the water pump is bad and I need to replace the pump.m or maybe the radiator. But it was good to see a professional, well explained video with no cussing it it. Thanks again, I’ve subscribed!!
One of the best do-it-yourself mechanic videos I've seen on RU-vid guy was very meticulous and explaining everything and showing everything well done if you've never done mechanic work and you watch this video you can now
You are a good man.. Thank you for showing what a big job it is to change the thermostat! I will consider having this done by a professional mechanic!!
Great vid! Quick q, I got quoted $1,200 by 3 mechanics for this 08 es350 water pump replacement. Thoughts? I’m sure if three folks say that’s what it is then it’s what it costs today. I went in for service thinking my idler pulley was faulty but was told it was water pump.
Please share for us.... That is the reasonable cost for the water pump/ serpentine/ thermostat/extras when it is done by a good mechanic? (Im talking TOYOTA parts needed? )Thank you@@!!! **** PS! Is this also the correct time to do a timing belt on this car? I don't want to do this twice!!
