2015-2021 Chevy Trax Water Pump Replacement 

An excellent step by step video. I am not a mechanical person, but I followed all the same steps he was explaining, and thanks God had no problems at all. It was an arduous job for me due to my lack of knowledge about cars and took me almost the entire day to get it done, but I did it thanks to this exceptional video. Before doing this, I took my car to a repair car shop, and they told me the cost would be close to $1,700. This was enough reason to do it myself. It is a job to be done with certain grade of precision, and I had to watch the video several time to not doing something wrong, but believe me, it is not the end of the world. I also changed the timing belt for a new one. In total the cost of buying the water pump and the belt plus a few tools cost me less than $ 200 bucks. Worth it to try, and something else you learn to do and challenge yourself.

I will use this video to replace my own waterpump, saving me ~$900 in labor. Thank you so much for such a detailed and in-depth video.

Just did this today. No way I would have figured this out without this video. Especially the bolt sizes. My deepest gratitude for you taking the time to film this!!! Thank you!!!!!

Just changed my water pump. You’re video is one, if not the best out there. Step by step. Awesome job my friend. 💯

Thanks so much for the details you included in this video. I was unable to find any others with information on the recommended bolt replacement, let alone the specific torquing process. You have saved many DIY'ers the cost of purchasing a factory service manual, which would otherwise be the only way to acquire this info. In addition, much of the process included here will apply to other GM models, as well. Nicely done.

Great video, without your diagrams and torque specs I would have been lost. Turned out to be an easy job. Many thanks!

This was a great video, so complete. Too many posters skip the small steps and the job goes to hell. I liked that you even went so far as to too exactly show the removal of the harness clips. Thanks!

My 2020 Sonic RS failed at 77000. Your was very helpful in me replacing mine. Thank you for sharing you knowledge

Great information. After watching this and two others, I was able to replace the pump, thermostat, and belt for my neighbor. Dealer had quoted him $1600. We did it for the price of parts, a set of e-torx and an extended hose clamp tool. Thanks for all the info.

Thanks to you, I changed the water pump. greetings from france.

This video helped me out so much and saved me tons of money. So grateful and appreciative for you! 👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾

Best DIY video. So much detail and insightful knowledge shared. Even specs on torque awesome. Watched the entire video.

Best video on the 1.4 water pump !!!!

Hey bro, huge shout out to you. Just ordered all my stuff off rock auto gets here tomorrow. I took the old water pump off today ready to put a new one on tomorrow thanks to your video.

One of the most detailed videos I have ever seen. Good job! My wife has a 2018 Trax with possible coolant leak. So now if it is the water pump, I can handle it after I buy those oddball sockets.

Good instructional video, if anyone is doing the 1.8L Non turbo engine it's a little different - water pump is further forward and lower down. I recommend removing the plastic splash guards underneath the car as the engine needs to be raised further up and you don't want the jack to slip. Also remember to get a new O ring for the crossover pipe as they are another known leak point and not part of the kit.

Just a gained a subscriber off this detailed ass video, love you my brotha

Water pump part @ 32:17. Front cover bolt part numbers @ 36:30.

Very good video instructions, now I can change my daughters water pump on her chevy treck

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the info my mom has a 2020 trax I think the water pump is going out I think she has it under warranty but if not now I can get it done for her

GREAT JOB - VERY NICE

What about putting a pin on the tensioner

Apparently you can use a 10mm ratchet wrench on those inverted torque bolts

나이스입니다!

I’ve got a 2019 Chevy blazer that needs water pump replaced, I wonder if it’s the same or similar!

Thanks

What are the part numbers for the 3 motor mount bolts that need to be replaced?

Is the 2019 model supposed to have a thermostat gasket where it connects to the water pump? Mine didn’t come with one. Also are those 2 front bolts absolutely necessary?

Thank u

What if your truck still running hot but no leak but all antifreeze is gone, brand new water pump and thermostat, where is the antifreeze is going to, no leaks

just for reference, if not recording and illustrating, how long is this process?

I have a Sonic 2013 Ecotec 1.4L turbo with overheating issues, I already changed the radiator, thermostat, reservoir and all the hoses and still having issues. This is the last thing I think I will need to change, hope it's works or this car goes directly to the Junkyard. 😓

While putting the new pump in bolt number three broke off. I haven't been able to get the piece out. Is it even possible to get out? And will the seal fail because of this?

What’s the actual labor time for this water pump?

Bro I'm elbow deep in this and I've dome all the same shit but one of the long bolts that's right under the pulley just goes all the way in with nothing to thread it too. I didn't strip it, I never got it to even start by finger. I've checked alignment and I'm in. I have 6 in and still nothing will even start to catch. Its a long bolt, I don't understand how it goes all the way in and catches nothing

Getting an ad for a new Chevy while watching this video is a insult to injury from having us purchase these bullshit engines 😭

why does 1 need replaced and 10 doesnt? makes no sense at all. if 1 is tty, so is 10. ill reuse the bolts

Why not leave thermostat on pump until you have pump out; just take hose off?

What is an average charge to have this done on these crappy Chevy piece of crap. I used to love Chevys I hate them now I'll never buy another one I hate my. Chey vy Trax . You shouldn't have anything fixed on your car when you buy a brand new and you still have a payment it's a lemon .

Low gas

A 2020 model with a failed water pump? Gee, chevy still hasn't fixed this problem by simply using better quality parts.
