Make sure the water pump is either for your Japan or American water pump, bolts wont lineup correctly if different from your make country. Good job.

I just wanted to say thank you! You saved me $400 by allowing me to do this replacement on my own! kudos!

Extremely helpful and instructive. Just did this today on my cl9 tsx. Made things alot easier. There is actually 7 bolts holding up the waterpump and LISTEN TO THIS GUY WHEN HE SAYS ABOUT THE NUT BEHIND THE TENSIONER BOLT ! took me 30min to get it out behind the alternator when i lost it. KEEP IT UP !

Thank you for the series of videos! I wouldn't have performed the work myself without them. I was able to unmount the power steering pump and suspend it with a bungee without disconnecting the hoses. Made the job substantially less difficult to not have to bleed the PS system.

Love your videos!! Very helpful, I own a Honda accord LX 03 2.4 and it helps me fix my issues. Thank you so much!

Maybe it’s his easy going voice but I’m feeling like that should be a pretty easy project.

Wow. Awesome and clear video. Many people have videos that don’t show you anything. Great detail

LOVE these videos when nick does these videos only!!

Great instructional video. Thank you.

Thanks for the video, I just changed the water pump on my honda stream, this had one bit of difficulty since I had to lower the sub frame to get the engine low enough to access the lower 3 bolts on the pump.

i havent done this on my car yet , i heard the voice from you when you fast foward it ,sounds funny reminds me of your other video where u change the transmission fluid

I just replaced the water pump in my 2004 Honda Accord. I found I did not have to remove the power steering pump or the belt tensioner assembly--but I did replace the tensioner pulley and belt while I was replacing the pump--seemed wise to do it all at the same time. The only problem I had was with the front bottom 10mm bolt. It was a bear to get out, but a breeze to put back on the new pump--I hot melt glued the 10mm bolt to my 10mm deep socket to get it started.

great manual, thank you so much man. Appreciate it

Super Detailed Video, Thank You

Good video boy. Me know how fi do dis to me car now. Keep up di gud work.

Amazing man!!!

Awsome videos, I look forward to trying it this week :)

Hey, thanks for this video. I ran into the pump problem you were talking about. I went to OReilly's site and searched, and they have two models for the 2003 Accord EX 4 cyl: CP9434 and CP9461 . They look pretty much identical to the naked eye, but, as you said, the bolts won't line up. They are 1 or 2 millimeters further apart on the Japan one, I think. I do not have J as the first letter of my VIN (referring to your other answer), so I'm guessing I have an American built one, and CP9461 is the one that fit on mine. It's 20 dollars more :) . OReilly could use a little warning there, but I guess they don't have that level of sophistication on their website to have people input VIN. Anyway--thank you again for your video!

Thank you for the video.

thank's for this video, can some one tell me how do I tell if the w/pump is bad, does it leak does it have a bleeding hole like the old chevy's at the bottom of the pump??

Your video is most helpful . I would like to know if the Honda you are working on is U.S. built or Japan ? Is the vin. # on the vehicle start with a J to indicate Japan made ? Reason is the Honda Accord that needs new water pump doesn’t have J in the vin number don’t recall letter , not a J . Thanks for help with this video.

My 2004 Accord LX, 2.4 liter 4cyl, 5 speed manual was at 230,000 miles plus.... so I did a triple threat maintenance : ... water pump, timing tensioner, serpentine belt also did the thermostat, both radiator hoses ( upper & lower ) and engine coolant with Honda specific Coolant... .... I had my Accord brand new off lot with 50 miles on odometer and have used synthetic oil since day one with filer change at 5k miles so everything is exactly what came on my car except brakes, shocks and fluid these cars last long if you take care of them best $18 grand I've spent in my life

Excellent video !!!! But I have a question..... I have the same car and I was wondering if this car use a timing belt or a timing chain ??? Cause, I couldn't find a video about how to change it.

Great video. I credited you for having a great installation video on my review for the wph-054 water pump on Amazon. I have a question. When I did it, the old water pump had some crusting on the bottom part of the seal and crud was left behind on the mating surface. I used some wire brushes and "goop" adhesive remover to try to get it off. Felt fairly smooth, but was still discolored when I installed new pump. It's not leaking at this point, but I just did it yesterday. What do you use to clean the mating surfaces on the aluminum block? And how clean does it have to be? Just smooth, or absolutely shiny metal clean?

Great video; it helped me a lot. I did this on a 2006 TSX. The access to the pump bolts is terrible. It took me 1/2 day to R&R the pump. I could not torque one of the bolts. If I do this job again, I will pack the lower 3 bolt holes with grease to hold the bolts, and insert the bolts on the bench prior to the new pump install. The tensioner and pump were making noise... Your thoughts? And thanks for the vid!

Thanks for the video. I unfortunately over torqued the two water pump bolts at the bottom and broke one of them for sure. Im super miffed now that I have to have a garage drill them out and probably gonna charge the heck out of me for it.

Great video. Quick question. How do you know when it is time to change the water pump?

First, great video!...Second, I saw in some other comments that you basically said Honda says the wp should be replaced at 120k on these cars, but I cannot find that in my owners manuals anywhere. Can you point me where this info is? The reason I'm asking is my 130k-mile, 2007 Accord's coolant level seems to be dropping quicker than it normally should, but I don't see any other evidence of leakage anywhere... oil looks good, too. Thanks.

how did you diagnose the failed pump? I'm getting code p2185 (ect fan switch ). , I replaced the ect fan switch. the thermostat is supposed to open at 172℉ and the ECT fan switch closes at 199℉ . However my scanner is reading coolant temperature of over 180℉ and the lower hose isn't hot, meaning the thermostat isn't opening . I'm changing the thermostat tomorrow. I'm hoping the thermostat does the job. If it doesn't I'm probably going to change the water pump . just curious if you had the same problem?

nice pumps

Hello! Im Confused about coolant ,what coolant do you use for your car? Thanks for this video.

my 2008 Honda accord heats up on traffic,I already replaced the thermostat also the radiator do you think could be the water pump?

Hey bud, question about the water pump. My car has been losing coolant lately and there is never a leak anywhere. I assumed that it was a head gasket issue. If there was an issue with the water pump would it cause my car to loose coolant and possibly overheat?

thanks u for your respone...

how would you know if you need a new water pump

i have a question y did u change it??was it bad or make whine noise ..my car whine n ppls say it might b the water pump so lmk ..thanks

Do you really need to disconnect the lines of the power steering pump? is it possible just to remove the pump complete and move it to the side?

Should I replace the thermostat when I replace the water pump as well? Or the thermostat doesn’t need replacement unless it goes bad? Is there a mileage interval on replacing the thermostat?

hey... i got an 98 vs accord... do i have to remove the timing belt too? to replace the water pump

What version water pump is needed for a Honda made in Japan? Will the water pump be made in Japan as well?

Will this be the same procedure for a 2007 v6 accord?

When replacing the water pump on a V6, do you have to replace the timing belt as well?

Total man hours for removing all necessary parts and reinstalling with new water pump? Need to change mine also. Just would like a guide line on how long I'll be working on it, since it is my daily driver. Thanks

do u have to remove the belt tensioner to do this?

Why do need torque ranch to put water pump back on?

Water pump bolts at 102 ft. lbs or 102 in. lbs torque?

Is the water in Japan more radioactive or something? Why are they different?

what do you think is wrong with my car. almost every day i have to add coolant. i check my dipstick and no signs of any coolant mixing with the oil. i bought a thermostat and radiator cap coz its not getting any coolant from the reservoir either. what do you think is wrong with it. thanks in advance

is there a way to replace only the water pump pulley by it self or the whole w/p needs to be replace if the pulley is bad?the w/p pulley on my car is kind of loose and is making a weird noisey I thought it was the serpentine belt but is not.

Hello... At the beginning of your video, you stated there are two versions for the water pump---American & Japanese. Depending on where the car is assemble, that will determine which water pump you need. What would happen if the car has the wrong version installed? The reason I'm asking is, I had a water pump installed at a national repair company in Sept. 2015 with 197K miles on my vehicle. It is now August 2016 (223K miles). The same merchant is telling me I need another new water pump since the Sept2015 water pump is leaking. I have gone over the warranty mileage, they are telling me my warranty will not cover it. But I find it strange that I need another water pump when the OEM water pump that was on my car lasted for 190K miles. Since my Accord has high mileage, does the merchant's recommendation to get a new pump sound accurate?

What was the mileage at this water body change

What was wrong with it that you had to replace it for?

Nice shoes

Do I need to replace the timing belt aswell, if I replace the water pump?

The temperature gauge goes up slightly while traveling uphill, but then goes back to normal what should i check first? 2004 Honda Accord, 160,000

Are the bolts known to snap?

What is the size of the six bolts. That hold the water pump in place?

Why u finally install old water pump?

Is the 4 cylinder and v6 same procedure?

How do i know if my car built in japan? 2006 accord ex sedan CALIFORNIA. Thanks

is it the same way on a 04 accord V6?

I need help I had my car to get it check up because the the temp gauge was going way above the middle , they said that my water pump stop working and that it leak onto the timing belt and tensioner and wanted to charge me 1,456 $ in total , I don’t think it cost that much just to fix it

How does one check where the car was built?

Can you do a video on a water pump housing for the 2.4l. I have an 03 accord ex

Water pump bolts at 102LB torque?

Next time you do a video or even maybe on this one You can edit it.. But it's always good to Explain what size Metric the sockets or wrenches that you use.

WATER PUMP GASKET...USE GASKACINCH...NEVER MOVE NOR LEAK...USED IT FOR YEARS...MOTORCYCLES CARS TRUCKS...NEVER EVER LEAKS...AND HOLDS THE GASKET(NO MATTER WHAT GASKET EITHER...!!!) ALSO ON BOLTS CALLING FOR THREAD SEAL GOING INTO BLOCK...CRAZY KEWL STUFF...(& I DONT WIRK FOR THEM EITHER!!!)

Hey does anybody know the actual name for the side cover splash guard that he removes when he has the car lifted? Mine broke off and I can't find the name of the part so I can order a new one

Did you just re-install the old water pump after removal? If not, what did the old one look like? Was anything broken?

U should fill coolant before lowering the car. Easier to purge air out of coolant system.

at what mileage does this needs to be replaced at ?

That's the V6?

what year model vehicle is this

the water pumps us different is one is from v4 and the other is for v6

I like your high heels bro lol

IS THIS ENGINE A 2.4LITER LET ME KNOW THANK

What are the symptoms of a failing pump on a k series engine?

No super glue.... Maybe some synthetic grease to lightly hold it ..

This guy I need to repair my water pump my car has bean heating up

No wonder why shops charge so much, it looks like a pain in the ass to replace.
