Man this was a life savor, I had no idea how to change it and I was gunna pay a mechanic buddy of mine to help me change it. (Use his shop and tools) but I stumbled across this video and your details make it seem like a walk in the park, took me roughly hour and half and changed the temp sensor also since you recommended it. Now my son's car is running like a champ...you da man!!!👏👏

I know this is an old video, but this was super helpful. Thanks man!

Great video. If you have sonic and your water pump is leaking I would call the dealership first to see if there is special coverage on it.

Well done. Thank you! I have all my parts and will proceed tomorrow

Great job! Keep it up! God bless you! Thanks for the great help! 🤩🇺🇸👍

Thank you so much. Now I am ready.

Ty ty. Im not a mechanic lol but, you are and i used my youtube degree.

GREAT VIDEO!!! THANK YOU!!!

Bro video was great, I’m glad you posted it. The video was very helpful and detailed thanks man

Great video. Thanks

Thanks, very helpful.

Nevermind I continued in the video and now I know what I need LOL

It’s July 29, 2022. I have a 2014 Sonic 1.4l I’ve called 2 Chevy Dealerships from 2 different cities, 2 different states. Both dealerships honor the Special Coverage on the Water Pump regardless of warranty. They will inspect it and see if it is the water pump and if it is they will take care of it. I do believe you still need to be under 150,000 miles like some of the comments said. Hope this helps. If you are outside the 150,000 miles, this video is all you need to do yourself. I was fully confident and committed to do it before I called the dealerships.

How did you diagnose it was a bad water pump?

Nice Detailed Video..👍

Good job brother 👍

Glad you posted it, but still the way explained it was very confusing. Just being honest. But thanks for posting this video

Before you go out and buy a water pump or PCV call your dealer there is a lifetime warranty on the water pump if it leaks , and they just put out one for the valve cover pcv valve .....

You're SUPER AWESOME👌👏👍✅😇

They just changed my water pump, but initially said i needed both. They said the belt looked new still. Is it bad they didnt change my belt and just the water pump? Im a little confused. They showed me it looks brand new still. i have 68000 miles on it. Ita a commuter car.

Very informative, thanks but if I just use bleeder will 1 time be enough, if I have solid flow of coolant from bleeder

So what were the torque specs on the bolts for the thermostat. You mentioned in the video you’d look those up and share them. I can’t find them.

My car starting making a noise that sounded like squeeling. The air wasn't working then it overheated and the engine light came on. I got it home barely let it cool down popped the hood. Zero coolant in tank. I has a year old thermostat. Tank reservoir replaced last year. We filled the tank up with coolant saw it leaking on right side under car. I'm thinking my water pump went out. Any advice on changing a 2012 chevy sonic. Not a turbo. Car has 186,400 miles not sure if waterpump is covered anymore.

what kind of Snap On digital torque did you use?

did this fix the sqeek from your previous video

What size inverted sockets did you say are needed? Great video

ITS A RECALL ON SOME SONICS

What was the hose u ordered I can't get a parts store to know what I'm talking about lol

Hey man, was this the same motor making the squeaking noise? If yes did it fix it because I have that exact sound from your other video. Thanks!

Awesome video!!! I own a 2014 chevy sonic rs 1.4 turbo and have to replace my waterpump and going to do the thermostat also... I have seen ppl do videos but yours is The Best!!!!!!! Question for you Why did you not use high temp silicone gasket maker on both sides of the gasket? I'm confused... Thank you in advance hoping to hear back from you ... Also just subscribed 👍😁

Jabo what can the torque wrench you use

is this job easy enough for a guy at home can do?

do i need that Hose Clamp Pliers?

what's the water pump and thermostat part number?

Where you get all the torque wrench bolts information

와우!

If your having trouble with that part take it easy lol

Hello I am not sure if this is the right place to ask but I saw a 2015 sonic for 9000 with 20k miles. But what do you think of this car is it reliable? Or does it have too many problems?

Without that tool how do you bleed this engine.

What would that run me since I need them replaced?

Where did you go???did you steal from me hahaha

On rock auto the water pump part said this requires the replacement of one of the bolts, is that true or can all of the bolts just be reused. I didn't catch you mentioning that in the video sorry if I missed it if you did.

i get charged $500 for this is that reasonable?

Looking for the 1.8
