Honestly, few hundred ever so often to keep it on the road is much better than a $800/mo car payment! Thanks for the heads up with what to do, really appreciate the tool sizes. Saves time going back and forth to the box.
I had this exact same vehicle where the water pump failed and I lost all of the coolant while driving about 70 mph on the highway. Steam was coming out when I stopped. The mechanic said that they believed that bearing material circulated into the engine, and that I needed a new engine because they could not get it to turn over. Why are the bearings in these water pumps not sealed from the engine so that the bearing shavings can not circulate through the system? The water pump was 135,000 miles old.
I never comment but this guy is so real. This is how instructionals should be. really! Love the "don't like or subscribe" just go fix your Sh!T. Perfect
Like the simple and straightforward explanation and i happen to have liked the video and subscribed, why you may ask? Why the hell Not? Actually, i got a lot of help by watching this video
Great video my friend my pal! This video is gonna make the repair on my girls car super easy. Very informative and well thought out with all the tips and tid bits so im not looking up spec constantly aswell. Thank you. Gonna get shit fixed😂
Great, and very informative video! Stumbled on your video, as I'm researching a coolant leak issue on a 2014 escape with 1.6L, but didn't see much on YT for our specific vehicle. Should the process be similar to what you did here?
Hello, Mine is overheating. Only when I leave it running. It has happened twice so far. Not when driving. Would you say start with the water holes first? Thanks. Michael
@Tom3294. I didn't put oil on it for that reason, it's so that it slides into the block easier without damaging the o ring. It's something you learn after actually working on cars for a while.
This is one of those videos that someone that has mechanic abilities is like Dude WTF stop explaining ever little detail that takes FOREVER!!!, but then I remember that not everyone has mechanical abilities. So thank God for skip in 10 sec increments.
You'll need to pry on it pretty good. There's a rubber seal that will make it difficult to remove. Make absolutely sure you've removed all the bolts as well. It's happened to me a few times where I didn't remove enough bolts and couldn't get the dang thing off.
@@bobaganoosh88 thanks for replying. I'll give it another go tomorrow. I soaked it in PB Blaster and decided to call it a night. I definitely got all of the bolts off, so it's just being an ass at this point.
@@08plus39 it's mainly that rubber seal that makes it tough to remove. Take a good shove to pop it out. Harder than you'd think you should. I was surprised at how much force it took.
Mine too don't want come out but I got humer and cold chisel I hit harder it was very rusty its I'm not how old it's since I got the car 2018 maybe 10 years old water pump
