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 tuneeeeeed!
P.S. Here is a link to the first every DIY video I did on my channel to help people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTl6UNMKjLc
I would love to know how to do this on my Nissan X-Trail T30 diesel
Wudder pump
$ 800,- is a scam. 1 hour for the worker. Less as 100$ for the part and fluids. Something around $250 – 300 would be fair price offer. But I guess they know that people are scared to DIY.
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.
$843 to do a water pump. Ridiculous. Good job tho ðŸ‘ÂÂ
What's a wooder pump
does all cars have the same water pump?
or its different.
CF is The GOAT .
He was made for this .
Kid was born to be an instructor .
Fantastic !
840 USD? Nice scam.
light and heavy thread locker: am I joke to you?
$8 isnt bad for a fix
Dear Chris., how do you know each bolt by pound, when you using the torque wrench??
843 dollars for a 30 minutes job if your taking your time, gotta love mechanics especially JAG mechanics
You are a life/money/headache saver. I appreciate you. Thanks.
This is unusually easy to change a water pump most cars like Hondas You have to remove A lot of stuff and the timing belt In order to change the water pump
That bucket is so handy
Save even more money…. Don't buy a Jaguar!
Money pits as they age
Excellent video. Another job on the family car I now feel able to tackle with a splendid mixture of confidence, verve and parsimony.
You are so organized.
8:05 you mean a chrisfix cross pattern
Instead of waiting for so long why not just go to the store and then just dump pure dry ice all over the car engine
Fixing that wooder pump.
Chris fix u should buy a 2015 Honda odyssey
Chris i have to ask you something about removing battery i heard that some cars if you remove battery just like that givin some issues they say at least plus side must be still connected before you remove
900 YEAH ITS ALOT OF WORK!!!! NOT EASY!!!!! BUT CAN BEING DONE WHEN SOBER
SINCE YOU ARE THERE. CHANGE THAT TIMING BELT . TRUST ME. I DID IT. WOW
Is your dog trained?
Can't believe that Jag is easier to work on than a Toyota where you have to remove the pulleys and timing belt.☹
It is no wonder Chris that these motor people don't want people doing their own repairs. Jaguar to be frank are taking the piss and this is a simple job that can be done by anyone with a few standard tools. Let's keep repairing our own stuff and keep making the videos Chris. You are a star.
The periodic donald quickly mine because sail lily wonder plus a squeamish sand. unused, imperfect hour
Change water pump and pulley is one of the most overpriced jobs from mechanics
*Wooder pump
Can I buy a cheap water pump & make it better ?
You should do a video on how to change an axle. My dad recently had to change the axle in his truck and the dealer said it would cost 6500$, luckily it was under warranty but it would be nice to show the people with no warranty how to change an axle. Thanks love your videos!
no gasket sealer?
Why is this car not usable anymore?
Are you sure you had to replace whole water pump and not just the gasket?
Not so easy when the water pump is behind the timing belt.
Chrisfix, you speak as much as àwoman but your vidéos are good. ðŸ‘ÂÂ
Thank you, Chris! You have saved me thousands of dollars in repair costs over the years, and given me an education and valuable skills. This weekend, I'll tackle a water pump and power steering pump replacement. Based on the quotes I've received, I'll save about $700 on this repair alone.
The only Problem is water pumps are In different locations on different cars and can be somewhat easy to super annoying and you shouldn't do something like this yourself if you don't know what your doing
What if my water pump is connected to the driveshaft? 🙁
POV: Trying to find an informative video on how to replace your wooder pump but you find this instead 🙄
Learning alot from you man
Such an easy access, to that water pump, unlike most cars. I saw that you left some spillage on your drive way, antifreeze tastes sweet to dogs, but it doesn't take much to kill them by destroying their kidneys.
This video helped me so much, thanks Chris! Got quoted for $675 to replace my water pump on my mustang. Spent $150 dollars on water pump, serpentine belt, coolant, and the funnel that you use in this video. Saved myself so much money! The job was easier than I thought!
