My mechanic got a P261B code during diagnostic process but couldn't get to right away and quoted me 2 hours worth of labor. By the way, he didn't charge me for the diagnostic. So I bought the pump and paid $305 for the it and around $40 for 2 gallons antifreeze. A friend referred me to his mechanic which quoted me $225 for the job. My total repair cost was $570. There are still good and honest people out there. You just have to be lucky to find them. Word of mouth still work. Also remember to bleed the system to remove air pockets. Maybe this gentleman could possibly update his video and show the process.
Thanks for the video. I found that the air box appendage with its 3 bolts was the only part needing removal before accessing the pump. The longer bolts were certainly tighter than the short bolts and the majority of fluid poured out when I removed the pump. Exactly 1 gallon. Total spent was under $200
You came through with this video! I just replaced my water pump and you saved me a whole lot of money and stress. It was a fun afternoon activity! Keep up the great work!!
Very good video. Well done. I found that a deep well socket with no extension was just the right length to get my ratchet in to take out the pump bolts. An extension + standard socket was a little too long.
Just replaced the pump……the bottom screw was waaaaay easier to take off from under the car after taking off the underbody shroud/shield using a 12mm box ratchet wrench
I am confused about the link to the torque wrench needed (Torque Wrench Range: 25 to 250 Ft. lbs. Socket Drive: 1/2 in. Drive) and the torque required 19 & 15 ft-lbs. at 5:04 and 5:18. What torque wrench did you use?
Awesome video !! Just did the inverter. But now I'm thinking it might be the water pump. Any suggestions. I'm getting a POC73 code. But deleted the other checking engine code
It is better to do the under bolt if you see them because the timing cover have the same bolts and this can make mistake and open one of the timing cover bolt 😅
Mine is Japanese imported.there is not enough space to took out water pump. My mechanic lift engine bit up and he replace water pump he took more then 2 hours
