I just did mine today. Start to finish was 4.5 hours. If I did it again, I could do it in 3 hours. Tips: remove alternator, some say you don't have to but it helps angles plus I couldn't get the water pump out with it in place and even swiveling it. Completely removed it. Remove the plastic shroud underneath, three 10 mm bolts and about five clips (push pull tabs). Buy a magnetic 10mm socket. The bolts are all 10 mm for the pump. Consider removing the motor mount and jacking up the Motor. I'd try it next time because fighting the frame rail was a total nightmare. Buy denso brand only. It's twice the price but ten times the quality.
Thank you so much, my water pump blew in my college parking lot 3 hours ago and luckly this car is simple and my rachet set in the trunk could do this. Of course getting to a parts store is a different issue but this video was great
@hodgeez I think the aisin which is the company who made the part for toyota needs no gasket . The duralast and trq come with gaskets and tell you to use them . They used one in the TRQ video
How did you find the water pump was bad? What was the mileage of this car? Toyota corolla water pump failure is hard to believe. Also, sijce you replacing pump, better to replace thermostat, belt etc to avoid future repairs on the same area.
@CarsYouCanFix very interesting to know it had leak in pulley area. What year the car and how many miles it clocked? If they didn't maintain it well by frequent coolant replacement, it could damage the pulley bearing as the coolant property will change over time
This was an 06 model, not sure the exact mileage but was over 100k. I have a feeling the vehicle was not getting routine coolant service. When looking for the leak you have to position your mirror to look behind the pulley, a little tough but doable with a small mirror.
@@CarsYouCanFix differents only 3,5mm at side but I don't know maybe its different build of wheel. One is full metal in center others with holes. I still search a my codes of 1.6vvti.
Realize you don't have to take the alternator off
True, but only 2 bolts and a connector and you have so much more room to work with! Come on Scotty!!
Scotty comment to your video. He’s a RUclips legend. Been watching him for years!
Gotta take off the alternator for the thermostat that you might as well change while your doing the pump
@@EuroSpecMTL Yes while you are in there might as well do the water pump, thermostat, and replace the belt. Job complete :) Yeah
I asked my Mechanic if I had a bad water pump, & he said he couldn't tell .
Just press a small dowel to the housing & listen.
I normally don’t make comments, but I really appreciate how you made this video. Outstanding job!!!!
Thank you! I really appreciate your support!
Thanks! Straight to the point with step by step tool and process instructions. Great!
The belt was the toughest part of my work😅. Thank for this video
No problem!

Great video. I plan to go ahead and replace the thermostat while the alternator and waterpump are out of the way.

You're welcome! Glad this video was able to help you out!
What did it look like when it blew up? White smoke?? Did you smell coolant and water was all over ground??
Bro thank you for making this video 😊
@Expolre i think you meant to put this as your own comment Cause I did not make this video lol

Greta vid! Please keep it up. Saw your video on instagram
Thanks! Been trying to get more insta users to cross over to RUclips. Appreciate the support!
I am here with torque info , and thank you !
No problem! 👍
Nice job👍
How much mileage on that car when water pump went out?
I don't have that info but it was definitely over 100k, less than 200k
Well done 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Couldn't you reach the pump from the bottom if you lifted the car?
I don't think so, the frame would probably be in the way.
Great ! Thanks
I replaced my water pump & drive belt, but I still have the rattling at idle and when acceleration. Any idea?
Maybe rattling is coming from the belt tensioner?
@@CarsYouCanFixI'll have to get the same mechanic to look at it again because water pump replacement was the suggestion.
Thanks a lot for this video. I subscribed
Thanks for subscribing to our channel!!
So my 2007 water pump came with a O ring and a gasket. Can I just use the o ring only like in this video?
Yes, only use the O-ring.
@@CarsYouCanFix thanks bud! thats what i did. wasnt sure why it came with a gasket also
@hodgeez I think the aisin which is the company who made the part for toyota needs no gasket .
The duralast and trq come with gaskets and tell you to use them .
They used one in the TRQ video
From where you take info about how much torque going to each screw?
You can use something like ALLDATA to get torque specs.
Does all the 9th generation corrolla u listed have the same engine 1zz.fe ?
As far as I know the only Corollas that had a different engine was the Corolla XRS in 2005 and 2006, it had the 2ZZ-GE engine

The water pump was leaking from the pulley area. Had to use a mirror to see the leak.

@@CarsYouCanFix Thank you for your information.
Whats going on with crankshaft belt wheel its 128mm and 135mm
I think there are 2 types of engine for this vehicle. This video covers the 1ZZ-FE engine.

Toyota OEM Water Pump : amzn.to/3I8oUsF
I've been looking for low priced alternatives to the OEM water pump. I found one on amazon which is the AISIN WPT-106 New Engine Water Pump.
