I had this exact same vehicle where the water pump failed and I lost all of the coolant while driving about 70 mph on the highway. Steam was coming out when I stopped. The mechanic said that they believed that bearing material circulated into the engine, and that I needed a new engine because they could not get it to turn over. Why are the bearings in these water pumps not sealed from the engine so that the bearing shavings can not circulate through the system? The water pump was 135,000 miles old.
Honestly, few hundred ever so often to keep it on the road is much better than a $800/mo car payment! Thanks for the heads up with what to do, really appreciate the tool sizes. Saves time going back and forth to the box.
I need help with my 2014 ford focus !! Leaking coolant next to the thermostat housing ! The leak is top right of the water thermostat housing ! What part would that be ?
@jimmyboyles2868 yep! It's always a good idea to replace bad parts when you see them ! In most cases here, I'm working with a customer who needs their car fixed cheap so upselling extra stuff usually happens down the road when they can afford it, or it's something the customer declined. Thank you for the comment!
Great, and very informative video! Stumbled on your video, as I'm researching a coolant leak issue on a 2014 escape with 1.6L, but didn't see much on YT for our specific vehicle. Should the process be similar to what you did here?
Hello, Mine is overheating. Only when I leave it running. It has happened twice so far. Not when driving. Would you say start with the water holes first? Thanks. Michael
Great video my friend my pal! This video is gonna make the repair on my girls car super easy. Very informative and well thought out with all the tips and tid bits so im not looking up spec constantly aswell. Thank you. Gonna get shit fixed😂
Like the simple and straightforward explanation and i happen to have liked the video and subscribed, why you may ask? Why the hell Not? Actually, i got a lot of help by watching this video
@Tom3294. I didn't put oil on it for that reason, it's so that it slides into the block easier without damaging the o ring. It's something you learn after actually working on cars for a while.
This is one of those videos that someone that has mechanic abilities is like Dude WTF stop explaining ever little detail that takes FOREVER!!!, but then I remember that not everyone has mechanical abilities. So thank God for skip in 10 sec increments.
I never comment but this guy is so real. This is how instructionals should be. really! Love the "don't like or subscribe" just go fix your Sh!T. Perfect
You'll need to pry on it pretty good. There's a rubber seal that will make it difficult to remove. Make absolutely sure you've removed all the bolts as well. It's happened to me a few times where I didn't remove enough bolts and couldn't get the dang thing off.
@@bobaganoosh88 thanks for replying. I'll give it another go tomorrow. I soaked it in PB Blaster and decided to call it a night. I definitely got all of the bolts off, so it's just being an ass at this point.
@@08plus39 it's mainly that rubber seal that makes it tough to remove. Take a good shove to pop it out. Harder than you'd think you should. I was surprised at how much force it took.
Mine too don't want come out but I got humer and cold chisel I hit harder it was very rusty its I'm not how old it's since I got the car 2018 maybe 10 years old water pump

Good time to just replace engine mount?

@@zackwisser5327 should be if it's got the same motor!
I used a claw hammer and leverage to pull the pump out came out so easy
I bet the curve on that would work perfect! Nice
@bobaganoosh88 ya the trick was getting the claw wedged but once it was in there it popped the pump put with ease
Thanks for this, I have a 2012 ford focus but same engine placement and stuff, gonna be my first serious repair!!
Great video . Well done! 👍🏽
Whhooopeee!! You made it look so eazy!!!👍👍YOUR SUPER SMART!!! YOUR PROFESSIONAL
Nice of you to get a shot of the cancer stick, cant wait for the fuel filter change video

Yes that can be from a faulty water pump!
@@bobaganoosh88 Thank you. Haven’t done it yet. But will only overheat when running for 10m at and do it
@mikereynolds1981 good luck on your repair! Whatever it may be

Big mistake pudding oil on the water pump gasket it's rubber oil will swell it up and has the potential for the seal to fail
@@shawncain1503 only if it is old oil that sits on it for an extended period of time. Something like this is harmless to a gasket of this type.
Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching!
Awesome great video
Best not to put engine oil on the seal. Perfectly fine to put it on as is as the seals are not that tight from factory.
They aren't that tight except I had to use a pry bar to get it out...
@@bobaganoosh88 I’m on about the seal, not the pump. The seal does not sit tight on the actual pump.
@Tom3294. I didn't put oil on it for that reason, it's so that it slides into the block easier without damaging the o ring. It's something you learn after actually working on cars for a while.
@@bobaganoosh88 Sarcastic prick you mate. Only thing you should be putting oil on is the oil filter.
Oh Yeah you made it look so easy 😂😂 good for you man .... U probably played with cars while growing up 😊

Dude, my water pump will not come out for the life of me. Idk what to do :l
