Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2019
- Part 2 of 2 Eco-tech engines are different, but they're common. This is good information to know when changing a water pump on one. When you need a specialty tool for the job, you know some specialty information is worth having too.

I watched both part 1 & 2 to the end and I don't even need to change a water pump right now, but I own two of these Ecotec's. I appreciate the detail, tips and humor, and I know how much work it takes to edit, "render", upload, publish, etc. Thanks
the video work is a pain in the rear.
What have I learned from this well done video? That there's no way my arthritic hands, fingers and wrists are gonna make it. It will be sent to someone like you, Sir! Thank you.
Great video did whole repair about 2 hours keep everything organized and work slow I’m not even a mechanic and job was completed if I can do it you can do it trust me good luck everyone
I'm working with a 2012 chevy malibu and there is a hidden bolt behind the water pump near the exhaust, how do I remove that?
@hizkie8238 I know I'm too late, but maybe it will help someone. Service manual says to remove exhaust manifold, but you dont have to. I got a 1/4" flex head ratchet with a short 10mm in from under the car. There isn't much room to turn it out by ratchet, I had to put the socket on and use my hand. I also have the fender cover and oil pan off, so that might have helped me. Good luck!
I watched until the end I'm about to attempt on my sister Malibu your a life saver they want to charge her 600$ for this job now it will cost her only parts!!!! I'm totally subscribing
WATCHED to the END great video !!!
Great video. I’ll be getting rid of my Malibu this week lol!
Just bought a Malibu with a leaking water pump and here I am lmao
I got a Terrain that just smoked the WP. FML
😂😂😂😂❌🧢
Lmao
I watched all the way to the end. Couldn't resist my morbid curiosity to view a truly nightmarish water pump repair. The lack of access & limited visibility makes that repair a royal pain.
Thanks for sharing the experience.
The beauty of this video is that any of the unknowns or hidden things that could trip you up are blown wide open. If you understand the concept and know what you'll need and what to do- it's not a big deal anymore.
@@briansmobile1 I've tackled many a repair in my day, but I'd gladly pay you to take care of this one for me. No substitute for experience.
I watched to the end, and loved the man's prayer at the end from red green
Generally I am not afraid to tackle a repair unless we get into pulling engines or something. Also, I am not a pro, I am a mechanic out of necessity! My son has a 2010 Cobalt and it appears that the water pump has failed. I have spent a lot of time researching the replacement of the the pump and to be honest it has me a little frightened. To this point, your two-part video is calming my fears. Thank you for taking the time to explain the details and especially the magnet to bolt tip. If anyone is going to drop a bolt into a timing casing, it's going to be me! So Thank You for that, I am ordering the magnet tool in the link right now!!!
Hey Brian, when I do these I take a 6x1.0 bolt and cut the head off of it and thread it into the drive pulley on the pump, that way I have a stud to line it up with the gear.. then you don't have to fight it trying to line up the bolt holes from the gear to the pump. Also, instead of trying to use a magnet held against your socket take a tiny piece of paper and set it in the side of your socket and push the bolt in, the paper will cause a tight enough fit to hold your bolt in the socket and then you can thread the bolts in that way. Hope that helps.
Excellent tip
Just got into one on an equinox tonight after watching this video. One big set back that I came across that you dont have to worry about is the engine block heater goes directly behind the water pump! And its really in the way! Also seems to be alot less room around the 2.4 in the equinox. So far not a bad job if i can avoid pulling the exhaust manifold.
Thanks for the tips. Sure makes it a hell of alot easier!
Awesome job explaining all the steps. Never done this before and got the job done thanks to you. I will add I did drop a bolt in the crank and thankfully was able to get out fishing blind with a magnetic. Thanks again for the video.
I have 0 mechanical knowledge but gonna replace my water pump later today thanks to your videos. Hopefully everything works out good
how did u make out ?
Took me 2 days to complete this job because I dropped a bolt in the timing cover. Took the oil pan off wasn't in there so finished taking out the water pump where I was able to fish it out with a magnet. I consider myself mechanically inclined but this is by far the hardest job I've ever done and ive replaced whole engines and transmissions. If anyone on here is thinking about buying a Malibu or equinox with the 2.4 don't do it and if you do take it to someone else to be serviced. They'll hate it too but it will save you the headache.
I’m replacing my timing and balancer Chain and the kit has a water pump so this should be fun.
Where did you fill the car up with coolant? Was it threw the reservoir?
@City_BusDriver yes it's through the expansion tank
Some shops will quote sky high prices to do a job like this! They actually hope the customer will take the job elsewhere. If the customer decides to stay with them then they make a lot of money still taking the risks of a miserable job! I really can’t blame them. Anytime a shop takes on a miserable job that is time intensive they likely have to turn away other more profitable jobs!
As always Brian, great video. There is a lot to that H2O pump! Where ever you feel the extra (put back together) instruction is needed, it probably is. Personally I can use all the help I can get. Thanks for all the work you put into your content!
Truly appreciate the time and effort show us the job, I’m pretty good at basic car repair, but this one’s got me on the fence.
Thanks so much for posting this up. It's really helped me out a lot. Currently halfway through doing this on my 2007 Alfa Romeo 159 2.2JTS Selespeed with a squealing water pump bearing @ 260,000kms
FYI - The best way to line things up when reinstalling is to install an M6 threaded rod (about 50mm) into one of the screw holes. Helpful when installing those things blind when you have the full circle holding tool.
Ok, this is the easy way ? How will be the difficult way....
Ryan, I'm about to change water pump and thermostat on my 06 pontiac solstice 2.4L manual (fhe 2.4 is the non turbo base model but my car has a Hahns Turbo and Intercooler, with custom tune, and obviously original air box and air filter removed and replaced with an open conical filter attached to a long tube running from the intake obviously, and sits dead center over the fan shroud/between the turbo charge pipes.
Not sure why I just told you that as it has nothing to do with my reason for commenting LOL
My question to you is could you explain this rod method you stated?
Thank you
I'm not doing this job but I'll watch just about any video you put out. Thanks for putting out quality content.
Love the scrapyard moment at the end, worked at a yard for a while and it was full of fun times like that. I have seen pickups break in half from rust, the other yard worker took the fork and ripped the cab off the frame since it was all scrap so we could get to the engine
Great video.
Yes. I watch the video to the very end and I appreciate the detail. the quality and the time it takes to make such a good video. thank you.
Thank you for your time into this and probably all your vids!! that helped soo much, now i know i can do it. im just a shade tree mechanic i prefer to rebuild an engine on a stand because leaning over the hood kills my back as i am fused . thanks again.
Great video parts 1 and 2 thanks to your knowledge and telling me about that special g.m. timing tool I got grandpas new waterpump in for a fraction of what anyone would've done it for. Sucked putting the new one in I ended up having to pass it from the under driver side over the exhaust over the frame then stuck it in from the bottom. Guess theres a 1000 ways to skin a pig! Thanks my guy!
Funny you posted this today. I just finish a timing chain and water pump on a 2.2l ecotech this afternoon. I think I like working on my 2.5I better, but I have to say the timing was super simple. The chain really stick in the teeth compared to a belt. Oh I love your tips and Bonus footage, so I watch till the end
Great content sir. Keep doing what you're doing I really appreciate the approach you use.
Thank you very much even though this took me two days with a two year old I managed to get the job done.... the right way.... 100%
Thanks Brian I purchased the Control Freak version of this tool that you posted in the description and got it done 👌
Thank you so much for this video man. I been trying to figure this dumb water pump for over a month but you just gave me the information I needed to get the job done. Thee so called mechanics I talked to could not figure out how the hell to replace this pump. Even two Bridgestone Firestone places I went to turned me away because they didn’t know how to replace this part.
Great videos as always. I watch to the end, but I don't always watch the bonus footage...BUT I usually skip to the end to give you credit for the whole vid.
I watched to the end, brother! Great videos as always! BFATE is always why. You make great content & thanks for doing it.
Loved your Man's Prayer (Red Green) at the end - so yes I watched to the end. Great video - I've got a Buick Verano that will need this soon.
Love the Red Green show as well and I watch all your videos to the end
I'm gonna go for it tomorrow thanks for the video
The extra footage is always great to watch bro
Got it done!!!! ✅ THANK YOU for both your videos! This saved us from the stress and spending money for the water pump replacement job.
I did end up with a whine at the end BUT, I’m sure it’s because I tightened the water pump sprocket bolts too tight. Going to SLIGHTLY loosen them. Wish me luck!
Did that work?
Your good bro keep up the good work. All your tips were great. I was having trouble before watching your video. Thank god i did. Thanks bro. Congrats on the pullapart win as well
Watched both parts to the end!! Thanks for the education.
I failed to mention the excellent quality of this video, thank you. I will have to take it to the dealership
Great video. I watched part 1 as well. Great job!!!
Entertainment video on your descent job , great video Brian.
Hey Brian, Could have sworn that I was subscribed to you, a few years ago, I could have sworn!!!! Anyways, I hit the sub button AGAIN! I purchased a 07 G5 2.2 vin-F & lucky me, This car has every problem a G5 can have & some!!! It was running when I approached at the lot so, The tapping at start up was hidden from me! When I realized the issue, I rushed & ordered a timing tensioner & THANK GOD I HAD MY LITTLE EXTENDABLE, ANTENNA STYLE MAGNET WITHIN REACH Because, As I unscrewed the 32mm socket, IT ALL CAME APART INTO PIECES & Thankfully I had the magnet ready! I just ordered a dr.engine timing set $124.88-133.93 after tax, from ebay! It comes with a new oil pump/front engine cover, water pump, both timing chains, 3 tensioners, oiler, & all the guides, 2 cam gears, 8 bolts(new cam bolts, & guide bolts, along with a front engine cover gasket. My water pump works fine so, I am debating on whether to change it & the biggest thing is, My cooling fan DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY ON ITS OWN! I extended all my know how & don't know how to fix it but, when I probed one of the pegs in the fuse box for the cooling fan relay, (test light attached to ground) When I touched 1 peg, the fan came on! I went to the junk yard & got another relay & that did not help! So, I connected to that peg in the fuse panel, ran to a toggle inside the car & then to ground so, When I hit the toggle, the fan comes on! The temp usually bounces between 183-189 but, If I am stuck in traffic or going up a massive hill at low speed, I have seen 210-212 degree-SCARY!!!! The fan spins when I activate it but, I am a loss as to why it does not function properly? So, I am scared to open up the cooling system & risk any air bubble's! I do not have a cooling system vacuum tool or any fancy cooling system tools! besides a squeeze clamp tool.. anyways, I worry about summer time temps & just how to get my cooling system working properly but, I ordered a timing kit & soon, I will be installing it & getting to the root of the tapping noise at start up!!! Any suggestions on my cooling fan issue? it has a single fan yet, the fuse box has relays for cooling fan 1, & 2 with a 3rd spot for a fuse. The car had some front end damage in the past & i don't know if this fan is the correct fan or not? I also purchased a new crank bolt, & the two 0-rings for the coolant tube (90537379). Still need dexcool! Gasket maker & maybe a new thermostat gasket? Will a small sqeeze tube of gasket maker be enough for the timing job or do I need a full tube that fits into my caulking gun?
I always watch to the end, bro -- always solid vids!
Excellent video. Watched to the end. Thanks for the great video. One of the best videos covering these excellently designed gm vehicles 😂
I watch till the end. Thanks for making videos for us to learn stuff
Watched till the end and thank you for your work.
Great video, good balance of time vs. information
Great video. This is a job in dreading. Thank you for the tutorial!
Watched both parts to the end. Thank you
Thanks u help me out alot today. Only watched ur first video and was over book time by 3min for first time
Nice video. I did this on a vue and dropped the bolt. Took 20 minutes to fish around with a magnet to finally get it out.
I think I think it was a great video watched it all the way through learned a lot thanks for the video
Watched to the end my friend. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Craig!
31 December 2021, I watched both part 1 & 2 to the end. Thanks for sharing. Help me a lot. Good Job
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks for the video brother! Highly appreciated!! Prepping to do this on a 08 Saturn sky, wish me luck!
Also, watched both videos till the end 🤙🏽
Thank you. going to do the water pump on my wife's 2010 Hhr. A very thorough,and informative video.
Glad it was helpful! You're welcome!
Love thelonger video way more helpful thanks
Loved the red green reference. Keep up the fantastic videos.
When I was an apprentice many moons ago my Mentor taught me to use thick grease to hold bolts inside the socket for tight areas. Dip the head of the bolt into red grease cover it good then pop it into your socket. It won’t come out until it’s threaded into where it is supposed to go.
thanks for you time doing this video very helpful on my line of work best of luck
Keep up the good work, longer the better!
Thanks for taking the time to make these vids brother
great vid! starting the job tomorrow
So glad I watched this video before doing it I watched another video he didn’t use the tool and took timing cover off
Great videos. This helps me very much.
You are passionate person, love to watch your chanel
"if you stick your finger in the back, right there" --- always the best quotes
It's that Pittsburgh Mini Pick I love those tools 🔧 I like the video by the way thanks for your help brotha.
THANK YOU for all those tips...
Thanks for the tutorial, it helped a lot. Thanks.
I watched to the end & now I know what not to work on. Thank you for a great video.
I don't think your video was missing anything or was too long. Thanks! Lisle FTW
I watched to the end! Very Nice Video! Thanks
Right to the end and awesome video by the way!
Thanks Ironbow- nice truck!
Thank you for the video, it was alot of help.
My sister has a 2015 GMC Terrian and wants me to change the water pump, but I am going to think about it.
I watched to the end. Good video.
Great video Brian!
The job went really good thank you for your thoroughness. I made a slick socket for bolt removal in the gear timing chain area. I just cut off a magnet and put it inside a 1/4” drive deep socket, also wrapped a little hockey tape around it for grip to spin bolt. IMG_0453.heic
Cool channel and thanks for the footage!!
Thank you so much for this video!! I did one on a customers Terrain and it is whining and couldn’t figure it out to save my life. Will be resetting the tensioner
Great 👌 I watched it to the end.
Watched it all. Thanks man.
I watched til the end sir thank you
Awesome video thank you very much man👀🌿
Fantastic, easier way is always a good thing...
Great video brian. I was wondering if you had used the OTC 6616 holding tool. The bolts couldn't fall into the engine when they were removed.
Great video, whish you had the toque specs, but everything else spot on
Good job...what hassle just to change a water pump. I hope mine doesn't go out on my 2011 Equinox! I did watch both parts to the end. There was a time when I would have tackled this job. But now I am 74 and would rather pay someone else to do it. I can tell that you have done these before. 😉
Very good and helpful
I watched to the end but it took me 4 years to find it to watch.
Very helpful Thankyou. Our mailbu recently started whining I used the engine stethoscope and the sound is coming from the water pump could it be the tension on the timing chain never been touched
Watched all the way, this was very informative, And a Great big help, Not sure if I'll do myself yet or take to mechanic. My pump is not leaking, but changed tstat and still trying to get hot. Could it still be the pump?? Thanks
i watched both parts all the way. multitasking. and i edit videos so i feel your pain,
Awesome video Brian, thanks for the info. Made me a subscriber and I have been working on cars for 50 years. And of course I watched to the end, makes no sense not to.
I need this on my 2.2 in the HHR. That engine bay looks way more open than what I'm dealing with
Right I did on a Saturn Vue but still great guidelines to get job done
You've done a great job on the water pump. But for the best results on O-rings I find that MOLYKOTE O-ring grease works best on any O-rings 😎
Always watch to the end. Why wouldn't we.
Thanks Glen!
Great video Brian
Morning Antonio! Thank you!
@@briansmobile1 morning Brian How are you Brother
Great job
I did this work spot on and have a wine from the pump now. Any times on what to do next?
יפה כל הכבוד לך עזרת לי כמה זמן עבודה פירוק והרכבה
Great video!! I need to replace the timing chain and waterpump. Do you have any timing chain videos for a malibu?
