How To Replace a Water Pump and Save $783

Water pump replacement DIY. Learn how to replace a water pump at home using common hand tools. I was able to easily replace this water pump in under an hour and saved $783.

Replacing the water pump on many cars is not difficult and this is a perfect example of an easy to replace water pump. You could do this entire job without any special tools and I spent under $60 in parts which is unbelievable after getting the $843 quote from the Jaguar dealership. I will also do a video on a more difficult water pump so you can see what is involved in that as well.

Thanks PEAK for the coolant product placement in this video!

The Dream Car video is coming but because it is a very special video for me, I want to make sure it is amazing, so it is taking a little longer than I thought to film and edit (you will see why when it comes out). In the meantime, I filmed and edited this water pump video to bridge the gap. I actually edited this video during my 2 week long road trip where I had meet-ups for you guys in Cincinnati, Indy, and Chicago! As always thank you for the support and stay

Watching Chris is dangerous because he has me wanting to replace things that aren’t even going out just because I have a tutorial on it 😂

1 year later and this still super helpful! Saved me about $500 I went to a shop and that was the bill. I went and got the pump and a socket set and did it. Super accomplished feeling thanks Chris. Keep it up!

A little trick I've used in my almost 30 years as a professional factory trained technician is while it's sitting there with your spill proof funnel full, grab the rad hoses and squeeze them quite a few times so the coolant pulsates in the system and it'll almost 100% bleed your system before you've even started your vehicle.. It's so simple and I've never encountered a vehicle this didn't work on.

I just love the positivite that ChrisFix brings to youtube

Excellent video, you have a great down to earth "keep it simple" mentality. I did the pump in my wife's 2005 Yukon. The shop wanted $750 to do it. For $262 total in parts, including new thermostat, upper radiator hose and serp belt, and a few hours (my first time, I wanted to take my time and do it right) it was worth the $490 savings. It's run like a champ since, she's made several long distance trips with it and not a drop of leakage.

I needed a chrisfix video to cheer me up. Great timing.

[jesuitmatthew]

I'm not a car guy at all, but there is something so entertaining about watching him do this stuff that has always seemed like magic to me. And he's very informative in these tutorials, so hopefully someday I'll actually start doing things myself. He's the best thing on YouTube.

Finally YouTube recommends something quality
