Scotty, after I watched your videos I decided I will do some work on my old ford focus. I first changed oil and filters, then brake discs and pads, then dumpers front and back and a few other bits and bobs and then I thought I would have a go at the timing belt and water pump. I had a friend who used to work in a garage helping me. It took really close to a day and I spent in parts and tools as much as I would pay someone to do it but we actually pulled it off. I could not get the air con belt on (not really a problem, I live in UK) and after disconnecting the battery the radio needs a code I do not have. So, my own experience: We should work on our cars as really with a bit of homework we can do a lot but as for the timing belt it is a mountain to climb, not for the faint hearted. Next I will need a clutch but this I think is a job for a pro. Keep up the good work
I'm sorry, as a mechanic, this pains me. You must know that the engine had to be in tone before you do anything. Never heat the crank bolt, it damages the front crank seal. Always use the tool for installation, you can use an impact gun for removal. That coolant... Honda Type 2 is very reactive to contamination since it has borax in it over silica. Lots of things missing from this video...
agreed, especially matching the timing marks. Some young guy with his first car thinks this will be a snack ... doesnt line up the timing marks and .... lets just hope it is a non interference engine he (or she ) is working on. I would not want heat applied to the crank bolt on my car... if you over do it , it most likely will damage the front engine seal.
I appreciate your input. Interesting about coolant. I only know about things on my car I've had to deal with, but even I wondered about keeping the timing and the heat in that proximity. I saw a video where guy changed just the bearings on one of the pulleys rattling. Idk which of mine is the culprit...yet.
Thanks for the great video Scotty Kilmer! I volunteered to change a water pump on a friends Chevy Aveo and holy cow!!! The dumb thing held in with 3 special allen wrench bolts, can you believe that??? Then, you had to have a fancy "special tool" to undo the water pump, to which I used the umph power with some adjustable pliers instead and out it came. Bearings were shot. Put it back in to find out it is also an interferance engine and the timing marks just so happened to align just when there was pressure on the springs, so you had to have at least 3 arms to hold the engine at the right point to get the timing belt on right! Then, the dumb engineers though it would be great to make the water pump the timing belt tensioner as well. After trying to get the tension right, I stripped the allen wrench bolts and found they were over $8 a piece, and of course, a not in stock item. So I upgraded them to hex bolts and finished the job! That's the last time I'll work on those Daewoo engines!
Scotty Kilmer I really enjoy your videos. But when doing job which invlolve timing belt, there should be pointed out to be really carefull not to change anything while that belt is off. And what I miss is how to properly put that belt on - since we are all DIYs and you are the professional (you know how to do that properly). I know there are some other videos about timing belt - but I think it sould be few words of it also here :) But this video will not stop me from watching your channel :)
Why are timing marks not needed then? I found it a bit dodgy too that there's nothing said about the timing stuff in this video. Rotate a pulley one teeth by accident and it won't be good..
good vid scotty, done a few of thoes, another way is to remove the starter motor, and jam a nail bar on the ring gear, then u can loosen the front crank pully,/harmonic ballancer, bolt with a breaker bar.its a fair bit of tinkering to get at the pump.
don't forget to mark your camshaft and crank harmonic balancer or you'll be getting. a new engine to lol when the valves smack the pistons when. you start it up Scotty is a 30 year veteran technician makes it look easy guys so.. take your time this might take the average mechanic or anyone all day
Hey Scotty ? Even tho you did not answer my question and it was very important to me , I still think your an amazing / smart guy and I've learned so much from you and your videos. Your a funny dude .lol... God Bless you and your Family
you make that look pretty easy, but I don't think I would trust myself to do it myself. Did insist the dealer replace my water pump while doing the timing belt though
Changed the waterpump on my Mom's MB E320 in about 40 minutes. Honda and Toyota still use freakin' timing belts which need replacement every 50k miles. So much for the saved money and time on the reliability factor.
FCFordLord Everything up here has holes in every panel, and is ratted out inside. Most people that drive older vehicles seem to beat the crap out of them unfortunately.
You've got to be kidding me!! My 97' T-bird 4.6 is way easier than this! Pump is right in the front! Kudos to you Scotty! I have patience, but not sure if I would have enough for this!
Scotty Kilmer hay i have a little tip that ppl might like:) before you remove the timming belt cut it in talf along its langth so timming dosnt move. Slip the new one half way on making sure all teeth are on the cut off the rest of the old belt. I lurnt how to do this in high school shop when the kids the class before me would screw up the timeing on my car when i was changing the belt lol but is also works well as a regular practice
Ah lovely hondas and that magic crank pulley bolt. U can spend have of the day to get it loose lol. If u don't have any tool or torch to take it just remove starter and put a bar and lock it and then u have it. Great video Scotty
This is why I love BMWs six cylinders. Water pump is 4 bolts and can be replaced very easily in half hour or less. nothing blocking it. Germans are smart! also Scotty I hope you tightened that harmonic balancer properly and not using that ratchet as shown. The torque needed for that part is likely in the 200+ ft lb range or higher. I have a feeling that car will be back soon. Also I probably would've replaced that belt.
Hello Sr they just replaced the water pump and timing belt on my Honda Accord 97 but now I am having a lot of vibration as soon as I turn on the car and is also lauder, any idea? 😟... I love your videos they are helpful and funny 😁
How did you know the timing belt was put on correctly? What if the cam gear moved a couple degrees? Just putting a timing belt on like that seems kind of risky: what if you messed up the timing and the valves would hit the piston? Not judging but trying to learn/understand what you did, I'm still a mechanic in training (going to automotive school) and they really taught me to be very, very careful when replacing a timing belt. Thanks!
the sprockets have an INTAKE and EXHAUST mark on the engine and allow you to make sure its TDC to ensure the valves are in the right position, Scotty skipped this whole procedure and its easier said than done...
hondannyboy lol i noticed that, i have respect for scotty, but that was like... dont let scotty work on your car. But for all we know scotty recommended they change the coolent, but the owners didnt want to pay a dime extra.
Medic1911 Or he edited out the part of him removing the leaf before pouring in the whole thing. He did edit out at least 3-5 minutes of work here... maybe more even... hmmmm...
+ScubaCat3 he changed the belt and water pump and used a torch to remove parts. this was at least 1-2 hours of work. video is 3 minutes. I think he edited out alot more
wow...this is why i work on my own honda's..now that person will need a new front main seal, and the crank pulley will probably walk off... me and my factory service manual got this. I have an H22A swapped CB7 and a CD5 with over 300k miles that still gets about 30mpg ;)
Scotty, I've got a Subaru with 250,000 miles. When I went to put gas in it, it wouldn't start unless I pumped the gas pedal. It starts perfectly fine until the next time I put gas in it. It idles at at 300 RPM(I think it's low) and sounds like it will stall out, but won't. It stalled out once on me when I wasn't on the gas pedal while turning on to a on ramp. Should I look at the fuel pump or idle air control valve? Or could it just be bad gas(previous owner left 1/4 tank in for 6 months before selling)? Thanks BTW this video is the reason I prefer working on domestic cars. The motors aren't designed all compact so you'd have to remove a bunch of stuff just to replace one thing.
Thank god, we thought it was the transmission and we then singled it down to the serpentine belt and after doing a bit of research nailed it down to the water pump. Thank the lord!
When I do 4 cyl. timing belts/water pump job I pull and replace the spark plugs so I can easily turn the crank and cam sprockets when wrangling the new belt without having to fight compression.
thats why i love my 1965 chevy c-10. there isn't all that crap in the way. I could literally stand in my engine compartment. That's how much room there is. Only if cars were made like that today.
If I were to do this repair it would take me 12+ hrs lol! There are always unexpected problems that complicate things. The more steps, the more that can go wrong haha.
I have exactly the same noise first on the front passenger’s side and now on the right. Doesn’t feel under hood but underneath the car like something is loose. Feels like steering wheel can be moved with one finger easily. Took to Toyota center, have Corolla, they said it’s water pump and it’s leaking but not bad enough to fix. Once it’s bad they can do it. But at this point nothing can be done. I was surprised that I have to wait till it gets bad and I have to listen to that irritating sound, however sometimes it stops when a car is in motion at 40mp or more. I asked them if it’s dangerous and they said no. So weird and it’s Toyota Center. They just changed oil and did multipoint inspection and said it’s ok. May be they just don’t want to deal with that since it’s complicated. Or may be it’s something different. But the sound is exactly the same as in Scotty’s video when I start a car. What do you think? Thank you.
Thank you so much Scotty. What kind the car? It is hard job for these car. Not like the old times. I have question help me out: 2003 Dodge Intrepid SE, how I take rear seat out! In order to replace rear Strut Shock. Thank you so much for your Video.
I found it amusing when I watched a 70s movie the other day and the guy was filling up his rig full of diesel. 128 liters = $21 lol. I was like I wish haha
Hey scotty I have a 2001 honda accord 2.3l sohc. I replaced timing belt, balance belt, water pump and new tensioners. I got the car running great but it's got a whirring noise coming from timing cover it really does it when idle. I can't figure it out its driving me crazy. I can probably send you a video of it. The car didnt start making the noise until after I replaced the timing belt etc..
I've adjusted the tension 3 times already everything seems good and it's just enough noise to make me feel like I might have messed up somewhere but it's dead align I done everything by the book
Whoa. That's a lot of work for a Japanese car in particular. Only time I've seen it nearly as bad is on the B5 passat where you had to remove the front bumper. Some difference when compared to the ease of a Mitsubishi Lancer from the 2000 era.
Hey Scotty love your videos. Wouldnt replacing the water pump count as moving something in which case the timing marks should be lined up first? Or is it just the crank and cam sprockets which shouldnt move and is that true on all tming belt driven cars?
My 2000 honda civix dx with 393k miles now still going up. But my radiator fluid keeps getting lower each day I drove about 60 miles and the fluid resavior container is over flow over max line level each time after I topup the fluid after radiator fluid is low about a cup. My engine temperature about 196 degree F while on freehighway. I see no leaks at all. So what you think and recommend to check. Thanks
Doing the timing belt and water pump on the transverse 3.0L v6 6g72 in my Eclipse was a pain in the ass, took 2 days. Better than replacing an engine if it breaks...
Hey Scotty. While changing the water pump and timing belt, will the engine timing itself be affected? What I mean is, will you have to set the timing after replacing everything?
R u serious??!! All that work. Scotty in my 2010 Honda CR-V, do I have to take the balance thing to change it ? How hard is it to change it in my car? Love ur videos
Hey Scotty, love your channel! Need some advice, I took my car to get the timing belt, water pump, and adjuster pulley replaced. Mechanic did the work, but now my car overheated and has a misfire in cylinder 4. I'm guessing bad water pump? And shouldn't they be liable to fix the pump AND the damaged caused by it? Thanks!
Logan Klaeren I don´t think so Water pumps are simple devices new one should be OK if it was assembled right these two problems may be bad timing and bad work while replacing the timing belt
lol... my God, Scotty. Turn a 4 hour shade tree job into a 3 minute video, I can just see the people who watch these and go "I CAN DO THAT!", start on Saturday morning... Monday they call in to work because their car is tore apart, have it towed to a shop with a box of all the stuff in the back seat LOL.
You coulda just titled this thing "Changing a timing belt" Same job. I did this same thing on a 2002 Accord. The harmonic balancer bolt would NOT come off even when jacking up the firkin breaker bar, the breaker bar bowed and it lifted the car off the jack stands. Bolt wouldn't budge. there is 1 tool that did it though. A big fat heavy "harmonic balancer socket" for the impact wrench. now that thing worked.
I have a question about a 1999 Toyota Camry. Its a V6 and the steering seems very hard at times. I popped the hood and I noticed that the power steering fluid is over full and I have not added any fluid to the reservoir. what would be the cause of my problem?? can anyone give me any ideas
Scotty you obviously have lots of auto repair knowledge, but the fact that you are more concerned with being an entertainer than an instructor leaves a lot to be desired. More details would be appreciated for the DIY guy. Don't get me wrong I am entertained..
Scotty, Im having some issue with the alternator or the battery or both. I changed the battery just 6 months ago. Alternator was checked also. Now battery reads 12V prior to crank. After cranking the engine, reading peaks to 14.25V (engine cold) and when it warms, it reads 14.1V. In the dash, sometimes, battery light shows up, not solid, sometimes flashing, sometimes a bit dimm. After 30 minutes turn off the engine, voltage drop to 12,6V almost inmediately. and lights dimm. Battery is "supposed" to be almost new. The car is used every two weeks. I know that this scenario is not good for the battery. Is this the root cause ?. Could be that the alternator that is charging poorly ? Car is a 96 Accord. Dont get why the dash light shows on 14,1V. Are those hondas expected to charge at a higher voltage ?. also noticed, some voltage flickering on the dash lights, go dimm 2 o 3 times and them go bright again .In that condition, engine slow down a bit. So Im really confussed. I measured the voltage drop from V- terminal and chasis and is about 60mV. So is not a ground issue. Measured the drop from V+ to the main fuse box and is about 180mV (both measurement made with the car idling). Thanks and cheers
Scotty Kilmer Hey, no autozones here.. But, yeah, battery stores check the batteries for free (which I dont trust, because, they live from selling batteries). What is the charging voltage Scotty ?. Ive read also that this light on the dash could be a ruined ECM as the alt gone wrong because sensing circutry is in the ECM module. I really hope not get to this scenerio. Forgot to tell but the batt is a REALLY GOOD ONE, installed in an stealership, you know. I love your vids. I try to get as much knowledge as I can, but I wont mess with my car. Accords of this vintage are expensive to get on the road (at least here) Good cars, trusty and reliable. As used car with 205.000K, not the best choice IMHO. Many thanks Scotty for you vids and the effort you put on responding / reading. Cheers
Hey Scotty, I was looking for a code reader and i looks like my Nissan Primera 99 2.0i dosent have a OBDII plug but its a diffrent looking plug. What kind of plug could it be?
Hey scotty, I have a 2006 trailblazer ls, whenever I have my airconditioning on the pump will have a steady clicking sound but it isn't constant. It will go away with certain rpms as well. Any clue as to what the issue may be and do you have any suggestions to fix it?
controversial nonsense with cj and james check the compressor, and if it keeps clicking on and off, either it's going bad, or there's a pressure problem causing the switch to turn it on and off
Hi I know you kinda go fast in the videos but just wondering do you have to line up all the timing marks when doing the timing belt or just do it like you did, should be good as long as you don't turn anything right? let me know thanks.
sir i got toyota yaris vios vvti engine now ive heard some rattling and growling sounds i replace the belt still sound is still there.. change the belt tensioner still the sound is there. what u suspect
smart idea to change the belts wail you already have the car apart. ive seen people take the care apart and change the water pump or what ever and the belt snaps a month later
Hey Scotty Kilmer I accidentally drilled my condenser by drilling the the sheet of metal in front of it to hang my horn.. Is it ok just to take my condenser to a wielding shop and just wield it?
Always loved Honda, but I think this illustrates why they usually cost an arm and a leg to fix. For whatever reason, Honda always seemed to like rolling their engines up in a ball and just tossing them into their cars.
Jesse Silva they are not cheap, if you compare domestic and import parts price there a huge difference and when it comes to electronics failure on imports its pain in the wallet.. just did a toyota avalon its has a hvac actuator failure cost around $600 compare to domestic vehicle its only cost $20 to $120
ebu touy not really that bad for honda, they have a ton of aftermarket parts for them. Also domestic cars are not that cheap and they have their problems too. Also believe honda is one of the most reliable car brands out there. Fyi I'm not a honda fanboy, i actually hate those cars.
Jesse Silva i was actually specting scotty to filtrate the coolant with something a piece of rag would be easiest, but i LMAO at how dirty it looked when he dumped all in there!
Gates is a good brand for timing belts and belts in general but is true if you are changing the water pump just do the timing belt that way you dont have to take it apart next time
How many people will follow this guide and make their timing out when putting the belt on, the most important step is missed out people... you need to mark with tipex or a marker the crank sprocket and cam sprocket so they go back together at the exact same position
Hey Scotty I've noticed thanks to you that some cars are designed in such a bone headed way that it makes it harder to fix than others. From your experience, which car brands or models gives you the less trouble when fixing them?
Are there certain timing belt kits you would recommend? The kits with the belt, water pump, seals etc. seem to vary greatly in price from under $100 to over $200 depending on the brand and the retailer.
Hey Scott I have a huge question how do I fix the steering shaft noises from my 2001 Chevy Suburban???? I have never had this problem with any other Vehicle it rattles thumps and generally sounds like your going to loose Components? ???? My mechanic said my steering , brakes and motor mounts and all the other suspension is in good order???????? Also any videos on replacing rusted backing plates?
Lawrence Eich no backing plate video yet. But really, a 14 year old Burb will make noises, they don't make em like they used to. Turn the radio up AFTER making sure nothing is actually falling off by jacking it up on all 4 wheels and checking for play and lwear.
Lawrence Eich how to fix steering shaft noise, change them. they have 2 shaft design and usually on this gm trucks is the lower fail. but if your not sure get a second set of hands move steering wheel back and forth while you feel the lower shaft if theres a play
Stuff like this is where you really save money by doing it yourself.If you took that to a shop it would probably cost $700-$1000 and 90% of that would be labor.
Scotty I have a 2003 Acura tl and I change my rack and penion and a leaking power steering hose I hear a weird noise when I turning I guess it's the pump can the sound actually stop with a different steering fluid

Hi Scotty you are the best Mechanic i love your work.
Scotty, after I watched your videos I decided I will do some work on my old ford focus. I first changed oil and filters, then brake discs and pads, then dumpers front and back and a few other bits and bobs and then I thought I would have a go at the timing belt and water pump. I had a friend who used to work in a garage helping me. It took really close to a day and I spent in parts and tools as much as I would pay someone to do it but we actually pulled it off. I could not get the air con belt on (not really a problem, I live in UK) and after disconnecting the battery the radio needs a code I do not have. So, my own experience: We should work on our cars as really with a bit of homework we can do a lot but as for the timing belt it is a mountain to climb, not for the faint hearted. Next I will need a clutch but this I think is a job for a pro.
Keep up the good work

And this is how you change your timing belt in less that 4 minutes. Really chaotic video!
Marcin Wojciechowski the universe is chaotic, so I follow suit
Scotty Kilmer I really enjoy your videos. But when doing job which invlolve timing belt, there should be pointed out to be really carefull not to change anything while that belt is off. And what I miss is how to properly put that belt on - since we are all DIYs and you are the professional (you know how to do that properly).

Why are timing marks not needed then? I found it a bit dodgy too that there's nothing said about the timing stuff in this video. Rotate a pulley one teeth by accident and it won't be good..
Richard van Pukkem They are needed. He just skipped over all that in this video.
Holy cow what a pain to change a water pump. Way to go on changing the timing belt Scotty thumbs up for that move!
Why is it a big deal to change belt if it's already off? He said nothing about marking it so timing isn't screwed up.
The wonders of editing, a 3 minute job!!
SCOTTY i knew nothing of car,and saw youre video on youtube and learn a lot, now i fix my own car and my family cars , btw love you video
i wish i lived close to Scotty you seem like a really honest guy.
good vid scotty, done a few of thoes, another way is to remove the starter motor, and jam a nail bar on the ring gear, then u can loosen the front crank pully,/harmonic ballancer, bolt with a breaker bar.its a fair bit of tinkering to get at the pump.
And this is why I'm glad I have a motorcycle! Haha.
They are way more simple to fix and now I understand why you don't make any videos on them.
don't forget to mark your camshaft and crank harmonic balancer or you'll be getting. a new engine to lol when the valves smack the pistons when. you start it up Scotty is a 30 year veteran technician makes it look easy guys so.. take your time this might take the average mechanic or anyone all day
John Curtan unless you have a non contact engine
Hey Scotty ? Even tho you did not answer my question and it was very important to me , I still think your an amazing / smart guy and I've learned so much from you and your videos. Your a funny dude .lol... God Bless you and your Family
you are my favorite personin this world. great teacher and very entertaining! thank you
Scotty, I enjoy all your videos,keep them coming. Thanks
Dennis
you make that look pretty easy, but I don't think I would trust myself to do it myself. Did insist the dealer replace my water pump while doing the timing belt though
haha! love the energy! you make me wanna fix my car 😁
Changed the waterpump on my Mom's MB E320 in about 40 minutes. Honda and Toyota still use freakin' timing belts which need replacement every 50k miles. So much for the saved money and time on the reliability factor.
Djonkie Bonk More like 120-150K for a timing belt change, and almost all toyotas within the past 8-10 years use a chain now anyways.
New timing belt AND TENSIONER!! Especially on these! There's a TSB on the tensioner failure!
Your comment about the engineers... golden
Had been nice if you included how to align everything before install timing belt. :)
You should also change out the idlers, rollers and hydraulic tensioner when doing this job
Michael Sackstein Yeah, most water pump manufacturers sell kits.. Timing Belt, Water Pump, Pully, Idler etc..
Grant Nicholson
yep, that's the way to go with these things.
Thumbs up!!!!! But you forgot to mention about marking the timing belt and sprockets for proper timing alignment. Great education video though
He changed a timing belt and water pump in less than 4 minutes. Damn he's good!
Hank Hill Thats what happens when youve been doing this for 47 years lol.
To bad it take much longer then that I know im a mechanic
Video editing? Lol
l3aller24 He edited out at least 3-4 minutes of footage. MAYBE more even! What a concept..
My accord is set up just about the same, and even as a novice I can do all that in about a half hour. It's really not that hard on these cars.
WOW you're fast. done all that under 4min. takes me nearly 4 hours to have it done.
I hope to see some more videos on old 80s GM chevy trucks.
Thanks
Mohammed Al-Hawaj I can get you some videos of those trucks.....in the scrapyard! Haven't seen one in ages!
FCFordLord Everything up here has holes in every panel, and is ratted out inside. Most people that drive older vehicles seem to beat the crap out of them unfortunately.
Good one Scotty !!!!! You put a curse on those engineers and my son cussed them and those in management that approved the idea !!!
Your the man Scotty 👍👍👍
You've got to be kidding me!! My 97' T-bird 4.6 is way easier than this! Pump is right in the front! Kudos to you Scotty! I have patience, but not sure if I would have enough for this!
Scotty Kilmer hay i have a little tip that ppl might like:) before you remove the timming belt cut it in talf along its langth so timming dosnt move. Slip the new one half way on making sure all teeth are on the cut off the rest of the old belt. I lurnt how to do this in high school shop when the kids the class before me would screw up the timeing on my car when i was changing the belt lol but is also works well as a regular practice
Ah lovely hondas and that magic crank pulley bolt. U can spend have of the day to get it loose lol. If u don't have any tool or torch to take it just remove starter and put a bar and lock it and then u have it. Great video Scotty
This guys great and also sounds a lot like “im Mr Meseeks!’
This is why I love BMWs six cylinders. Water pump is 4 bolts and can be replaced very easily in half hour or less. nothing blocking it. Germans are smart! also Scotty I hope you tightened that harmonic balancer properly and not using that ratchet as shown. The torque needed for that part is likely in the 200+ ft lb range or higher. I have a feeling that car will be back soon. Also I probably would've replaced that belt.
Hello Sr they just replaced the water pump and timing belt on my Honda Accord 97 but now I am having a lot of vibration as soon as I turn on the car and is also lauder, any idea? 😟... I love your videos they are helpful and funny 😁
How did you know the timing belt was put on correctly? What if the cam gear moved a couple degrees? Just putting a timing belt on like that seems kind of risky: what if you messed up the timing and the valves would hit the piston? Not judging but trying to learn/understand what you did, I'm still a mechanic in training (going to automotive school) and they really taught me to be very, very careful when replacing a timing belt. Thanks!
Flapjanus Idk anything about this and sane thing I was thinking
he just didn't show you the alignment part. there is an alignment procedure for this.
the sprockets have an INTAKE and EXHAUST mark on the engine and allow you to make sure its TDC to ensure the valves are in the right position, Scotty skipped this whole procedure and its easier said than done...
Omg I laughed so hard at this one holy hell lol!
That leaf in the coolant...
Yeah new coolant is what $20-$30?
hondannyboy a tiny leaf in the coolant wont do any damage
hondannyboy lol i noticed that, i have respect for scotty, but that was like... dont let scotty work on your car. But for all we know scotty recommended they change the coolent, but the owners didnt want to pay a dime extra.
Medic1911 Or he edited out the part of him removing the leaf before pouring in the whole thing. He did edit out at least 3-5 minutes of work here... maybe more even... hmmmm...
+ScubaCat3 he changed the belt and water pump and used a torch to remove parts. this was at least 1-2 hours of work. video is 3 minutes. I think he edited out alot more
wow...this is why i work on my own honda's..now that person will need a new front main seal, and the crank pulley will probably walk off... me and my factory service manual got this. I have an H22A swapped CB7 and a CD5 with over 300k miles that still gets about 30mpg ;)
I'd like to see Scotty Kilmer deliver more curses, hexes, and voodoo spells in future videos.
This was super helpful.
Scotty, I've got a Subaru with 250,000 miles. When I went to put gas in it, it wouldn't start unless I pumped the gas pedal. It starts perfectly fine until the next time I put gas in it. It idles at at 300 RPM(I think it's low) and sounds like it will stall out, but won't. It stalled out once on me when I wasn't on the gas pedal while turning on to a on ramp.
Should I look at the fuel pump or idle air control valve? Or could it just be bad gas(previous owner left 1/4 tank in for 6 months before selling)? Thanks
BTW this video is the reason I prefer working on domestic cars. The motors aren't designed all compact so you'd have to remove a bunch of stuff just to replace one thing.
bmwmsport11 could be bad gas, I'd try my video "how to clean fuel injectors on your car" first
Thank god, we thought it was the transmission and we then singled it down to the serpentine belt and after doing a bit of research nailed it down to the water pump. Thank the lord!
When I do 4 cyl. timing belts/water pump job I pull and replace the spark plugs so I can easily turn the crank and cam sprockets when wrangling the new belt without having to fight compression.
I'm glad my 89 CRX wasn't as hard to replace the timing belt, tensioner and water pump as this car was.
thats why i love my 1965 chevy c-10. there isn't all that crap in the way. I could literally stand in my engine compartment. That's how much room there is. Only if cars were made like that today.
If I were to do this repair it would take me 12+ hrs lol! There are always unexpected problems that complicate things. The more steps, the more that can go wrong haha.
I hate this phrase:
"Now once the part is replaced simply put everything back together using reverse order."
WTH? I always have parts left over.
I have exactly the same noise first on the front passenger’s side and now on the right. Doesn’t feel under hood but underneath the car like something is loose. Feels like steering wheel can be moved with one finger easily. Took to Toyota center, have Corolla, they said it’s water pump and it’s leaking but not bad enough to fix. Once it’s bad they can do it. But at this point nothing can be done. I was surprised that I have to wait till it gets bad and I have to listen to that irritating sound, however sometimes it stops when a car is in motion at 40mp or more. I asked them if it’s dangerous and they said no. So weird and it’s Toyota Center. They just changed oil and did multipoint inspection and said it’s ok. May be they just don’t want to deal with that since it’s complicated. Or may be it’s something different. But the sound is exactly the same as in Scotty’s video when I start a car. What do you think? Thank you.
Ok, wait a minute..... What about the Timing Belt? They don't call " Timing " Belt for no reasons! LOL
2:00 lmao "here's where the engineer should be shot"
Thank you so much Scotty.
What kind the car? It is hard job for these car. Not like the old times.
I have question help me out:
2003 Dodge Intrepid SE, how I take rear seat out! In order to replace rear Strut Shock.
Thank you so much for your Video.
I found it amusing when I watched a 70s movie the other day and the guy was filling up his rig full of diesel. 128 liters = $21 lol. I was like I wish haha
Good time to replace the valve cover gasket too.
Honda isn't the only manufacturer that has difficult water pumps. My Protege and Miata have painful water pumps.
so glad my Honda fit 2015 doesn't have too much plastic crap under the hood. No engine cover either.
Hey scotty I have a 2001 honda accord 2.3l sohc. I replaced timing belt, balance belt, water pump and new tensioners. I got the car running great but it's got a whirring noise coming from timing cover it really does it when idle. I can't figure it out its driving me crazy. I can probably send you a video of it. The car didnt start making the noise until after I replaced the timing belt etc..
I've adjusted the tension 3 times already everything seems good and it's just enough noise to make me feel like I might have messed up somewhere but it's dead align I done everything by the book
Whoa. That's a lot of work for a Japanese car in particular. Only time I've seen it nearly as bad is on the B5 passat where you had to remove the front bumper. Some difference when compared to the ease of a Mitsubishi Lancer from the 2000 era.
Hey Scotty love your videos. Wouldnt replacing the water pump count as moving something in which case the timing marks should be lined up first? Or is it just the crank and cam sprockets which shouldnt move and is that true on all tming belt driven cars?
You are awesome. One question. Is it important to put that harmonic balancer back on as tight as it was when you began?
Hey Scotty wanted to get your opinion on how you feel about a 1990 Mitsubishi Starion or Mitsubishi in comparison to Honda or Toyota. Thanks man.
ss4vegeta1 no where near as good
My 2000 honda civix dx with 393k miles now still going up. But my radiator fluid keeps getting lower each day I drove about 60 miles and the fluid resavior container is over flow over max line level each time after I topup the fluid after radiator fluid is low about a cup. My engine temperature about 196 degree F while on freehighway. I see no leaks at all. So what you think and recommend to check. Thanks
samm88724 do my video tests "how to fix an overheating car" and pray it's not the last test, a blown headgasket
Doing the timing belt and water pump on the transverse 3.0L v6 6g72 in my Eclipse was a pain in the ass, took 2 days. Better than replacing an engine if it breaks...
Hey Scotty. While changing the water pump and timing belt, will the engine timing itself be affected? What I mean is, will you have to set the timing after replacing everything?
John Boccardo only if you didn't put it back exactly the same as it was, like I did. but get a timing light if you're worried and check it
R u serious??!! All that work. Scotty in my 2010 Honda CR-V, do I have to take the balance thing to change it ? How hard is it to change it in my car? Love ur videos
Edgardo Amado actually easier than this honda
is that a civic em2 was thinking of buying one are they reliable? it has done 128k miles 1.7 auto
Hey Scotty, love your channel! Need some advice, I took my car to get the timing belt, water pump, and adjuster pulley replaced. Mechanic did the work, but now my car overheated and has a misfire in cylinder 4. I'm guessing bad water pump? And shouldn't they be liable to fix the pump AND the damaged caused by it? Thanks!
Logan Klaeren I don´t think so Water pumps are simple devices new one should be OK if it was assembled right these two problems may be bad timing and bad work while replacing the timing belt
mato1943 any way you look at it, guy did crap job, see if he stands behind his work, or get your money back and go elsewhere
lol... my God, Scotty. Turn a 4 hour shade tree job into a 3 minute video, I can just see the people who watch these and go "I CAN DO THAT!", start on Saturday morning... Monday they call in to work because their car is tore apart, have it towed to a shop with a box of all the stuff in the back seat LOL.
You coulda just titled this thing "Changing a timing belt" Same job. I did this same thing on a 2002 Accord. The harmonic balancer bolt would NOT come off even when jacking up the firkin breaker bar, the breaker bar bowed and it lifted the car off the jack stands. Bolt wouldn't budge. there is 1 tool that did it though. A big fat heavy "harmonic balancer socket" for the impact wrench. now that thing worked.
I have a question about a 1999 Toyota Camry. Its a V6 and the steering seems very hard at times. I popped the hood and I noticed that the power steering fluid is over full and I have not added any fluid to the reservoir.
what would be the cause of my problem??
can anyone give me any ideas
Fan belt... Alternator all that CRAP back on ha made me laugh!
Wow that was a really big job Scotty. How much did you charge for this water pump job?
0:15-0:18
Haha you interrupted yourself! You should have your own tv show.. ID WATCH!
Scotty you obviously have lots of auto repair knowledge, but the fact that you are more concerned with being an entertainer than an instructor leaves a lot to be desired. More details would be appreciated for the DIY guy. Don't get me wrong I am entertained..
Agree
hey Scotty how would i know if its the water pump or timing chain? thanks in advance
Scotty, Im having some issue with the alternator or the battery or both. I changed the battery just 6 months ago. Alternator was checked also. Now battery reads 12V prior to crank. After cranking the engine, reading peaks to 14.25V (engine cold) and when it warms, it reads 14.1V. In the dash, sometimes, battery light shows up, not solid, sometimes flashing, sometimes a bit dimm. After 30 minutes turn off the engine, voltage drop to 12,6V almost inmediately. and lights dimm. Battery is "supposed" to be almost new. The car is used every two weeks. I know that this scenario is not good for the battery. Is this the root cause ?. Could be that the alternator that is charging poorly ? Car is a 96 Accord. Dont get why the dash light shows on 14,1V. Are those hondas expected to charge at a higher voltage ?. also noticed, some voltage flickering on the dash lights, go dimm 2 o 3 times and them go bright again .In that condition, engine slow down a bit. So Im really confussed. I measured the voltage drop from V- terminal and chasis and is about 60mV. So is not a ground issue. Measured the drop from V+ to the main fuse box and is about 180mV (both measurement made with the car idling). Thanks and cheers
38911bytefree realize auto zones load test batterys and alternators free, so start there. Odds are alt is going out
Scotty Kilmer Hey, no autozones here.. But, yeah, battery stores check the batteries for free (which I dont trust, because, they live from selling batteries). What is the charging voltage Scotty ?. Ive read also that this light on the dash could be a ruined ECM as the alt gone wrong because sensing circutry is in the ECM module. I really hope not get to this scenerio. Forgot to tell but the batt is a REALLY GOOD ONE, installed in an stealership, you know. I love your vids. I try to get as much knowledge as I can, but I wont mess with my car. Accords of this vintage are expensive to get on the road (at least here) Good cars, trusty and reliable. As used car with 205.000K, not the best choice IMHO. Many thanks Scotty for you vids and the effort you put on responding / reading. Cheers
Hey Scotty, I was looking for a code reader and i looks like my Nissan Primera 99 2.0i dosent have a OBDII plug but its a diffrent looking plug. What kind of plug could it be?
Scotty, the video is only 4 mins, but as a pro mechanic how long does it take?
can you give out torques specs too? lining up with timing mark?
Hey scotty, I have a 2006 trailblazer ls, whenever I have my airconditioning on the pump will have a steady clicking sound but it isn't constant. It will go away with certain rpms as well. Any clue as to what the issue may be and do you have any suggestions to fix it?
controversial nonsense with cj and james check the compressor, and if it keeps clicking on and off, either it's going bad, or there's a pressure problem causing the switch to turn it on and off
Scotty Kilmer wico, thanks for the advice
If I ever attempted to do this one, a month later I'd still be working on it. It may well be wiser to leave a job like this to a professional.
Hi I know you kinda go fast in the videos but just wondering do you have to line up all the timing marks when doing the timing belt or just do it like you did, should be good as long as you don't turn anything right? let me know thanks.
VIheavyequipment as long as nothing turns, that's fine
sir i got toyota yaris vios vvti engine now ive heard some rattling and growling sounds i replace the belt still sound is still there.. change the belt tensioner still the sound is there. what u suspect
smart idea to change the belts wail you already have the car apart. ive seen people take the care apart and change the water pump or what ever and the belt snaps a month later
Hey Scotty Kilmer I accidentally drilled my condenser by drilling the the sheet of metal in front of it to hang my horn.. Is it ok just to take my condenser to a wielding shop and just wield it?
Always loved Honda, but I think this illustrates why they usually cost an arm and a leg to fix. For whatever reason, Honda always seemed to like rolling their engines up in a ball and just tossing them into their cars.
what? Hondas are usually cheaper than most other cars to fix. Also all my technician friends say they are the easiest to work on.
Jesse Silva they are not cheap, if you compare domestic and import parts price there a huge difference and when it comes to electronics failure on imports its pain in the wallet.. just did a toyota avalon its has a hvac actuator failure cost around $600 compare to domestic vehicle its only cost $20 to $120
ebu touy not really that bad for honda, they have a ton of aftermarket parts for them. Also domestic cars are not that cheap and they have their problems too. Also believe honda is one of the most reliable car brands out there. Fyi I'm not a honda fanboy, i actually hate those cars.
ebu touy it was a dead rat skin
Jesse Silva i was actually specting scotty to filtrate the coolant with something a piece of rag would be easiest, but i LMAO at how dirty it looked when he dumped all in there!
Gates is a good brand for timing belts and belts in general but is true if you are changing the water pump just do the timing belt that way you dont have to take it apart next time
How many people will follow this guide and make their timing out when putting the belt on, the most important step is missed out people... you need to mark with tipex or a marker the crank sprocket and cam sprocket so they go back together at the exact same position
I wish I could bring my truck to Scotty Kilmer to get it looked at instead of my local mechanics.
Put a curse on the engineers....hahahaha, that's how I feel half the time working on my Toyota.
I fucking love this channel. Scotty is a God
Hey Scotty I've noticed thanks to you that some cars are designed in such a bone headed way that it makes it harder to fix than others. From your experience, which car brands or models gives you the less trouble when fixing them?
Lpedraja2002 toyota are generally not too bad.
2:52-3:00 my favorite part.
Mr. Kimler would really recommend the elio car. Becuase I dont want to buy it then theres a huge recall for it.
David Corral realize they aren't being made yet, they plan on 2016 in the old hummer plant in Louisiana, so stay tuned.
Are there certain timing belt kits you would recommend? The kits with the belt, water pump, seals etc. seem to vary greatly in price from under $100 to over $200 depending on the brand and the retailer.
try to avoid chinese made kits
What's the book time for this job? And how long does it actually take? For this reason I always buy a car with a timing chain.
James Last took me two hours, book gives about 4
why can't he live next door smh lol
Hey Scott I have a huge question how do I fix the steering shaft noises from my 2001 Chevy Suburban???? I have never had this problem with any other Vehicle it rattles thumps and generally sounds like your going to loose Components? ???? My mechanic said my steering , brakes and motor mounts and all the other suspension is in good order???????? Also any videos on replacing rusted backing plates?
Lawrence Eich no backing plate video yet. But really, a 14 year old Burb will make noises, they don't make em like they used to. Turn the radio up AFTER making sure nothing is actually falling off by jacking it up on all 4 wheels and checking for play and lwear.
Lawrence Eich how to fix steering shaft noise, change them. they have 2 shaft design and usually on this gm trucks is the lower fail. but if your not sure get a second set of hands move steering wheel back and forth while you feel the lower shaft if theres a play
Thanks!
rotate the engine once or twice by hand after you put the timing belt together to make sure it is timed :D
this is what MONEY is for !
if you cant change a tire this is out of most peoples league !
Scooty was sweaty by the end of it.
Stuff like this is where you really save money by doing it yourself.If you took that to a shop it would probably cost $700-$1000 and 90% of that would be labor.
Scotty I have a 2003 Acura tl and I change my rack and penion and a leaking power steering hose I hear a weird noise when I turning I guess it's the pump can the sound actually stop with a different steering fluid
Daniel Persaud that old, pump is certainly worn, but if it works fine, most ignore it
Thanks your Tha man
