Dude! you saved me. Stranded in a parking lot, was able to get mine replaced by your vid. Appreciate the detailed video! You the man!

I can't thank you enough for this video. I followed it step for step and it was seamless. First time I've ever done anything as complicated as this on a car (I'm not a mechanic) and it was a breeze thanks to your video. You're an absolute legend.

This is ONE OF THE BEST “HOW TO” videos on UKposts! Straight to the point, clear, comprehensive, and east to follow. Lexus quoted me $850 to replace my water pump on 2015 is350. With this video $90 on Amazon for pump and $60 for some specialty wrench sets at Harbor Freight I successfully did it myself in 4-5hrs. Much appreciated.

This is one of the best how to videos I’ve ever seen. I bought all the parts I needed, put in my AirPods and followed this video step by step in my driveway. It took me a few hours and my back kills now but we got er done. I appreciate the time you put in to this and all the small details to make it easier. Thank you

This is one of the best videos. Provides very detail instructions. Helpful hints. I have been working on cars for long times, this video shared some great tips. Very well done.

Around 94K my '08 IS 250 started to make a horrible grinding noise. Poked around the engine bay with a flashlight and an inspection mirror and saw a huge cluster of pink junk under the water pump. I bought new water pump, belt, loctite, anti-seize, and a jug of toyota antifreeze off of amazon for under $100. Watched your video and had it done in about 4-5 hours! Hardest part was getting those wiring connectors off! Thanks!

Love your videos because you don't just run through it, you actually explain the process and what not to do.

Very good walkthrough! I will know exactly what to expect when replacing mine. Thank you

Well, water pump replaced. Your video saved us $500, thank you so much for the detail & helpful hints.

Well done, thank you! I work on different cars and watch these videos all the time, you do an exceptional job.

Bro! Thank you for this! I never thought I could do something like this but with your video, it was easy as cake and saved me 600 bucks!

Thank you very much for the video. Its a really good video. You help me save money. My 2008 is250 started to make a ratteling noise like 9 months ago(2017, March-December) couldn't tell what it was. Came to find out it was my water pump once coolant leaked out. The water pump pulley broke. I'm an electrician and i never put hands into my cars, but mechanic shops were charging me a crazy amount to fix my is250 so I decided to fix it myself(after watching your video). I spend nearly $200 (water pump $126 with lifetime warranty, 2 lexus coolants $42, and the anti-siezed lubricant $7). I worked on it myself and it only took me 4hrs; not bad for someone that dont know much about cars. Just follow the video and pay attention to every detail.

This is the best and most comprehensive DIY video I have seen yet. Awesome job. Thank you for sharing this.

Excellent video! Thank you for taking the time to explain everything so thoroughly, I was able to replace mine without issue in 5 hours with absolutely no experience. You're a true hero!

Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. I just saved a bunch of money and taught my son that you can do almost any repair on a car.

liked, saved 700usd, note: squeeze hose helps to circulate after you fill up, it just speeds up the process.

Thank you Pierce for making and posting your excellent video.

Excellent video. Clear and well described process with no waffle or bs. Fair play. Very confident to tackle my noisy pump once parts arrive. Thank you!

By far THE best instructional video for this procedure. Excellent job cleanly executed, great general wrenching tips as well!! Thank you sir.

I also want to say this is the wonderful video. so detaily processed and good edited. I dont need to replace water pump now but it is still good to understand the process for front poly parts and etc.

Great video! Changed it out in about 1/2 a day and $80 for a new pump.Metric set of sockets, pliers and that's about all needed. Thanks

Awesome vid. I have a 350 but still an identical setup. Gonna tear into it today once the parts arrive. Thanks for posting it up.

UKposts is one of the most useful inventions ever because of a knowledge base like this - great video. If you're ever planning on switching out your rotors please record it and post - next on the to-do list for me. Thanks!

Great video just changed mine and everything is running smoothly easy to follow step by step guide awesome work saved me a lot of money your the man 🤙🏾💯

Really well done DIY guide ! I have 0 experience on fixing Car, and I managed to get mines done !! And it has been working for me over 3 months now ! Hope you can upload more DIY video about this car !

Excellent Video One of best I have seen Thorough and complete WELL DONE THANKS

thank you for this video. first time changing the water pump on the wife's car, and this made it super easy

Thanks for the pointers. Helped me knowing what i was getting into. Smooth sailing

Clear and concise, including tips and gotchas. Well done. Thank you.

Thanks for the informative video! Will be doing a thermostat + water pump change on my new (to me) IS250 in a day or two and this video is invaluable to me!

One of the best, highly articulate, and focused videos I've ever viewed. Fully confident of my ability to perform repairs following Piercedasian's presentation. Shop cost today $1400-$1500. Stealership much higher.

Hey WOW!!!! Can not thank you enough for doing and posting this video..........you just saved me 600-800 dollars showing me how to do it myself!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Thanks for putting this together! Local dealer quoted $1300+. Does take some mechanical skills and patience. One thing I will admit I messed up was when putting the tensioner pulley back on, I placed the washer on backwards and tightened it down! I should've checked it was spinning before I put on the belt! Nipples on the washers need to face out, nipples out! Smoke show with the belt not being able to spin on the pulley, but caught it quick!

Thank you for taking the time. It's something I could not do but just watching is inspirational. Of course having the right tools also helps but even if I had those I know I would f it up...Sad but true. I love my car I have a leak in the air conditioning condenser but I got sidetracked looking at this. Not looking forward to the cost to fix it specially now.

Excellent video, explains in detail every step of the way, there in no way to go wrong. Congratulations!

Nice video, just replaced my water pump with help of this video.

Intelligent, straightforward and complete but appropriately concise instruction, with useful commentary. I watched this once then with the necessary tools and parts at the ready, I replaced my water pump in 38 minutes. It took almost that long to refill the radiator, check for leaks, (there were none), clean up, and put away my tools and every thing I used. Just like being back in High School Auto Mechanics class but with a better view and without all of repeat student questions and horsing around. I also replaced the S belt and the thermostat. I bought my parts from 3 different auto parts suppliers on eBay and the coolant from a local superstore for a total cost of $116.00 ! The quote from the dealer was $798.00

Great Video! Just finished mine today.

Thank you so much for this video! After watching this, I was convinced that I/my boyfriend could switch out my failed water pump. The tips you mentioned really help and now my car is up and running again. Thanks for helping me save a lot of money by doing this ourselves!!

I will watch this video again and again for the coming same diy job. My car stalled a few times and showed error codes of misfire. But the shop just had a complete check of the car and determined the water pump, some hoses and v-belt need replacing. The quote is $2.5 k. This is a useful, straight-forward and pro video that will help me save bit bucks. Thanks in advance and more comments after the diy job.

I agree 1000% I'm here because my wife called me from the dealership this morning and told me they wanted to charger her $1000 for a leaky water pump and that it would take 4 hours. It makes me sick to think about all those poor souls out there who are taken advantage of by dealerships. I can't say thank you enough for the mechanic here taking the time to explain this process. Many blessing to you sir.

Thanks alot my man you helped me out big time followed everything you said i watched this bout 20 times but I got it done thank you so much

I followed every step exactly as you showed and it took me an hour and a half. The job was successful and works great! Thank you again for taking the time to record and post this. My Lexus is a 07 IS250 and the pump started leaking at 70,000 miles, what a joke Toyota!

Great videos thanks so much for uploading seriously saved me a TON of money lol

Wow thanks for this great video brother. My pump went out and bought one now I have an idea on how to do it. 🙏🏿💪🏿

Great video! I'm considering to buy an IS 250 that has done about that mileage, and now I feel confident that it won't be a problem for me if the pump decides to give up on me shortly afterwards. :)

Excellent diy video,saved me $$;thank you sir.

Thanks for saving me hundreds!!! You're the man!

Good job, great video, saved me alot of time not to mention $$$$. Much appreciated!!!

Great video! My pump is making that grinding noise indicating that the pump needs replacing. I'm waiting for the parts to arrive and thanks to your video I will be doing it myself! Thanks for taking the time in recording and uploading such a precise video.. I feel confident that I can do it myself following your steps! Wish me luck! Thanks again!

You are my save-ior ❤️ I’m about to start replacing mine

Great video. Thank you for your detailed lesson.

Fantastic video, sir. I'm about to start that very job today.

Great demonstration. Thanks

Very informative well done👏🏽

Nice Video, glad for folks like yourself to teach and save us $$$. small note: the description shows "FWD" should be changed to RWD

Great video! You saved me time and money!

great video from the looks, it looks super simple to do.

This is an amazing how to. Thank you.

Very informative thank you

Thx u for this video. Im a honda guy. Never workd on a lexus. But thx to this awesome video. I just replaced the water pump on my wifes is350 with no problem. 😬👍🏼

Great video! well explained step by step, it couldn't be better, you just saved me $$$...for sure you don't want to go to the dealer because they cut your hands.

very helpful video!👍 keep up the good work

EVERYONE PLEASE NOTE: if you know your water pump is going bad, replace it ASAP. I had the part ordered and delayed replacing it for a week and it suddenly broke down when going to work and coolant started leaking everywhere. I had to get the car towed. Not worth it. This video saved me hundreds of dollars. Thank you.

Had dealer replace mine when engine was apart for misfire recall. Just paid for part. Thank god

Just did this today. The dealer wanted $1300 I spent less than 400 on parts. Thanks for the great video!

Thanks a lot for the video! did save a lot of money!

Great video and good advice throughout the video!!

Thought I needed a new one. Lexus wants $1,100 for a water pump replacement. Luckily, just a new belt was needed. When the pump finally goes, I'm doing it myself. Great video....

thank you men. really good job 👍👍 i saved a lot of money 😉

Excellent, thank you, please post more DIY videos on the is250

Nice work you doing thanks.

Great Tutorial!!! Thank you!!

Awesome diy, step by step and technical. I just did alternator/ thermostat/ water pump/ belt on my 250 since alternator finally died and I had rest of the stuff, but never got around to it. Everything original on mine 07 197k miles lol. Don’t buy autozone remanufactured alternators, first one I installed was a dud. Had to do the job twice 🤦🏽‍♂️ second one I made them bench test.

Great video man. Well done.

excellent....what a proffessional

Nice clean work i liked it

Straight up one of the best vids i have seen. you should get a job at Hollywood for video production lol what r you doing turning wrenches. loved the extra tips. Good job. Were you a Toyota service tech at one point?

I delayed replacing my water pump for about 3 months. Turns out it failed in two ways. The bearings failed and it was leaking slowly. It made the tell tale "whirring" noise. Then, the belt started squealing because the pulley wasn't turning freely. Your video saved me from skipping crucial steps in the repair and saved me tons of $$$!! Viewers, please note, you must purchase Toyota coolant (pink). And TOP OFF THE COOLANT when done!! The thermostat won't work properly unless you fill it to the very top at the cap (not the reservoir) or else your car WILL overheat. Also, you can use an old screw driver to hold the water pump pulley. I didn't have a pulley tool. :/ Do not wait as long as I did. I got lucky. Others commenting were not so lucky. Good luck!

Aujourd'hui le 16 mai 2020, j'ai remplacé la pompe à eau AISIN, pour une GATES, et le thermostat de ma Lexus IS 250, 2008. J'ai fais la job en environ quatre heures. Merci beaucoup pour le beau vidéo...duquel je me suis inspiré. N.B, Ce message est du Québec (Canada). CIAO....

Nice work

You're the best man, thank you so much for sharing this helpful video. Question tho, is it necessary to replace the thermostat at the same time?

Great job 👍

Professional DIY video.

great video

Bro thank you for the video Just have a quick question is the idling pulley are same as tension pulley(the wheel) Cause I want to replace all then since I take all part.

Very nice video! You did a great job even without a camera man. Nice tip about putting the old bolts on the new pump and vice versa. Kind of like I have done with push rods before in cardboard box to remember where they go. I have a 2006 IS350. This is the first video that I watched of yours, but I will watch them all! Are you a mechanic by trade, or just a DIY guy like me?

Just replacing the idler pulley but good to know when I need to replace the water pump. Have a 2011 is250 awl

Just got done with spark plugs change on my 2009 IS250 AWD. The water pump is next. Waiting for my order from Amazon. I will definitely be watching your video as I do them. So thank you in advanced for the video tutorial. You just save me $800. With spark plugs, serpentine belt, and this water pump. You and other UKpostsrs + Amazon parts just save me easily over $1000. Two question. 1. How many gallons of Toyota lifelong coolant fluid did you use? 2. Would you recommend replacing the thermostat as well?

Nice video thanks

Wow .wat a job well done 👏💯..but the people saying oh u saved me money need to give u atleast 150 dollar tip.

you are the best !!!😃

Great video, very informative, and easy to understand. Lexus wanted to do this for $1,000 saying that there was a gash? on the water pump and it had to be replaced. Now I can do this for about $100. Should I replace the thermostat with 100 k miles on engine while doing this? Thanks,

Very good info

Thank you very much for this video to save $$$$😊🙏

Awesome video I was able to replace my water pump on my '08. Bad thing was that after I put everything back together and I went to add the coolant the cap broke and everything fell inside the water intake. Now I have to hopefully fish everything out or buy a new intake *sighs*

Thanks for help!

Great video thank you so much. One question, did you replace the gasket on the water pump or use the old one? Also, what year is your car? Thank you in advance.

You are a good mechanic !

does the hose going to the right from the radiator overflow tank is it suppose to be connected to anything? my cars was disconnected and dont seem to find where to connect it to
