Did Toyota deliberately design this engine to make replacing something so simple extremely difficult or what? I've replaced a few water pumps before but have never seen anything like this in all my 55years of life. Thank you for making this video because without it I don't think anyone would be able to diy.

4AFE one of the best engines ever made. GOOD JOB!

Peter Finn the best english and mechanic teacher in the world! Thanks from Brazil Friend!

step 1 - remove engine

thank you for making this video . its done very well . i must point out that here in america , we have a cartoon character named " boris badenov " . you sound just like him .

WOW What a job and a pain in the a$$. I think I will look into a water pump delete next time I have my timing belt done on this car. Would be easier to install an electric water pump so that I can replace that easily in the event it fails. Who the hell wants to go through all of this? I bet the repair would be expensive!

my new favorite guy to watch ,step bye step nice job

Thanks too! I have also a toyota corolla. I replace my timing belt today. Congratulations for the patient and very detailed explanation! Thank you again! Portugal Nuno.

Thanks Peter! As always you pay attention to every detail.

Thank you

Now i sit and wonder why i was too lazy to change the pump when i changed the timing belt... Like i diddn't change the clutch release bearing when i changed the transmission....... Damn it!!!!

did the engine start?

Gracias Peter,, me ayudó mucho.

Most of cases the engine is in the car when you need to replace parts.. Nobody will take out motor for replacing a water pump...i have exactly that car with this engine

water pump failed with 10,000 miles left due to o-ring gasket not being replaced correctly,or removing old ring completely from inside o-ring crevice,instead of placing new o-ring on top of old one. Thanks Finn.

yes...it's so easy to get at water pump WITH ENTIRE ENGINE OUT OF THE CAR!....lol do it with the engine still in the car.Go ahead & try to remove the pulley...YEAH RIGHT! I just did it with engine in the car with a friend.Had to leave water pump pulley on,take 12mm & 10mm bolts out of water pump casting,using engine hoist to raise/lower engine to get at bolts with a wrench.then pry on engine at where engine mount bolts onto engine towards drivers side as my friend wiggled out the water pump out of the 1 inch or 2 of space to do so....

The video is very good, very educational and explanatory, it explains how you should not do it.

Hi. Why do you rotate the camshaft twice with the belt on? Whats the significance of those two clockwise rotations? 🤔

Great video.

Question did you setup the timing mark before or after removing the timing belt?

I was going to do this myself...mechanic wants to charge only $100 including the pump so i will let them do it

Very good diy,I learned a lot thank you

on a 1994 you need to take the engine mount arm that is hold by 3 bolts to the engine, as water pump slydes out/in that direction. this is working on the car...at first i did not take arm off, i got it out but was not able go put it back in. once i remove the engine arm it took me a few seconds to slyde it back in. remember do not bolt the pulley as you need it to move it atound to bolt the waterpump. then lift the engine until you can bolt the pulley to the pump one bolt a time ( jus grab the pulley with a pressure pliers use a piece of rag or carton to not scrash the pulley.) and bolt it one at the time.

Anybody can remove a water pump from an engine that sits on the floor why don't you show a video of doing it while it's in the vehicle so people can see how to remove it out of the

Do I have to lift the engine up to get water pump out?

I know it's self explanatory, but you still should've mentioned to mark the timing points on the cam gear and crank atleast BEFORE REMOVING THE TIMING BELT... Jesus...

My '97 Corolla appears to have a water pump leak. I am planning on getting it replaced. The current timing belt has about 45,000 miles on it. Is it worth replacing the timing belt at the same time or should I just replace the water pump?

What a nightmare having to pull all that off just to get to that one bolt under the timing cover. And there i was thinking it would a simple job to replace it.

I changed water pump, timing belt.. but my belt to the power steering and water pump is loose how do i tighten belt ? Does the alternator put tension on that belt to power steering?

thanks for this Peter ...

Hi! Thanks for your video. I have a 4A-FE and the little rubber pipe near the water pump has broken. Do you know the diameter of the pipe? Tks

to fasten the harmonic balancer bolt all you need is to turn the pulley bolt wile the spark plugs are in. that forse is enough, do is a couple of times.....the pulley and bolt turn in same closed tighten direction so bolt will never come loose....this is for people with no tools ok, if u have tools use them. and fallow the doctor orders. and to loosen it, look for video on you tube to loosen it with no tools. i done it many times it is safe.

Probably want to loosen the wp pulley bolts before taking off the belts if you don't have access to impacts, you can use an end wrench and large screw driver but it's slower

My car is overheating, i dont know if its a water pump or the fan radiator...temp goes up in traffic but it goes down when un run in a hi way...what do you think is the problem?

is it normal for coolant to come out of my overflow hose on the coolant reservoir on my corolla the car don't over heat and it only do it sometimes. do you think I'm putting too much coolant.

How long does a bomb has of use life? this because i have a corolla 2015 and i only has 73 000 KM with the original and I have already have to change it?

hi peter..can use inpact wrench on this job?

1.5 engine?

My engine runs at a normal temperature, but my gauge goes to Hot when it is at normal temperature? Have you had this problem?

Is this a Non-Interference engine????

Peterr is it possible to replace the water pump on a 91 camrry without taking the engine out? XD

You did not show the method steps to reinstall the water pump and skipped over those steps?

He having hard time trying to take parts off .what a dope try doing it when the motor still sitting in the engine bay like us real mecanic
