A Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician Explains why do Toyota water pumps leak and how to prevent them from leaking prematurely.
In this video we take a look at Toyota and Lexus water pumps and common causes for leaks while we take apart another leaking water pump on this prestine low mileage 2007 Lexus LS460.
The super long life coolant just like the long engine oil change intervals can be a heavily debated subject. however it doesn't need to be.
Change your engine coolant every 50k miles or 5 years and you significantly reduce the chances of leaks caused by acidic coolant.

I had a good friend who use to own a radiator repair shop. He once told me if people would " Spill and Fill" their anti freeze every third year of the vehicles life, he would be out of the business.. Everybody thinks about their oil maintenance intervals but never think about cooling issues until bad things happen. That has stuck in my mind ever since. I buy my anti freeze when I find it on sale for future use. This is just something to think about taking complete care of your vehicles.

Coolant is definitely an issue. You hit it on the spot. I've got 3 vehicles, pushing close to 200k without any issues. I change my my coolant once a year, with vehicle recommended type. So many different types. And yes use OEM parts. Preemptive maintenance is the best. BTW. That is a complex job. You make it look easy because you've done this for a while. I give you triple thumbs up. You know your stuff.

It is a matrix xrs with eps, forgot the year but yea that was fun. A 10 minute job turned into a week due to school for both of us. Thankfully my friend had another car.

@@captainamericaamerica8090 The recall should be out of the supply chain already. In 2020 the product was recalled for a packaging problem: "The products' caps were not rotated enough during manufacturing to engage the child resistant mechanism, posing a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children." As long as the bottles are kept out of reach of children it is not an issue anyway. FWIW, I buy almost exclusively used cars (3 new ones in 51 years.) Two things I check immediately: the dipstick for varnish above the full line, indicating a steady use of non-synthetic oil, and the wrong color coolant. Substitutes are a yellow flag; although the consequences of inadequate coolant are sometimes severe, sometimes (as in the case of Dexcool) they are important for the good of the car. Seeing non-Dexcool correct coolant is a big deal for me. If that is done wrong the car hasn't had proper maintenance.

Dex-cool was reformulated soon after that fiasco. There are other carmakers that use OAT type coolant the same as Dex-cool. Chrysler,Ford,VW,Fiat,etc in some of their cars. So in conclusion if you are takes OAT coolant keep it that way,HOAT the same,POAT...

I’m getting ready to do this service for the fourth time and still changing everything from the kit. I have two newer models but this one is still my favorite.

The same thing happened to the radiator on my 2008 Sienna. I took it in because the shift cable to shifter bushing failed. While replacing cable the tech leaned on the hose coming off the radiator filler neck and it broke off. On this radiator the filler neck was replaceable separate of the radiator itself but cost the same. I ended up replacing the radiator which got pricy because of labor involved. I did not hold the tech responsible because plastic gets brittle overtime. I just let them do their thing and life was good. AMD love these videos.

I recently got my water pump replaced on a 2008 tacoma (1GR-FE), and this guy is spot on from what I can tell. My original factory pump formed a leak after 97K miles / 15 years, it cost me a little over $800 to replace it. I watched the Toyota tech do it the entiure time, I drove in @ 10:30am, the tech had it in the bay by about 11am, he finished at 3:00pm, did his test drive afterward, I got it back 3:30pm.... And yes, the tech opened two 1 gallon jugs of coolant to refill it, I watched him open both... so far so good on it, but it's good to know that this is a common thing and mine didn't seem to die prematurely.

I have one question regarding the coolant in order to both take care of our Toyotas and to also save money. In this video you recommend to change the pink long life coolant more often because it is not good to keep it in the car for so long. Is there any other cheaper coolant we can use for our Toyota (in my case a hilux kavak 4.0) taking into account that we will be changing the coolant at every 30k miles?

Our Trucks with timing belts are definitely able to make 150K, as are most of the water pumps. My 2005-06 Tundra requires attention but @ 104K still has all original other than Alternator, PVC, VC gaskets, plugs, radiator and gas caps, and a few couple coils. Runs smooth, but Time Ages Everything so won't be letting it get past 150K for the TB Kit/Radiator/Coolant replace(flushed block/rad coolant at 95K, was close to perfect) because I bought new, started doing stuff a tad late but now have done every single thing so as to hit that 300 0:02 +K, even though I likely won't be the one behind the wheel when it does. TCCN is by far THE Most Trustworthy & Knowledgeable Toyota/Lexus Expert on UKposts and perhaps off YT as well. Doing the original coolant/flush by 150K 100K(and OEM TB, radiator/WP kit) as well as 5-7K Oil/60K Tranny Drain/Fills and drive train lubes will keep these going for 100s of 1000s of miles! Worst item on my DC 4X4 LTD was the original Front Suspension, by far. ❤ my Baby. 0:02

@mwngw Not until 2007 on the 5.7. The 2UZ-FE 4.7L Engine has the timing belt.

Another satisfying watch AMD - Kudos again ... Btw - you said Toyota improved the water pump design on the 2GR FE V6 - would you be able to remember what year they started doing that? Many thanks

Great video! I've been paranoid about it ever since I heard about the plastic impeller failure.

Really not a widespread issue. People get all tweaked out about low frequency failures due to the internet. Plastic is completely acceptable for water pump impellers.

cars are prone to leaks (oil, transmission and coolant) if not driven all the time.

@HighMiles Garage Very true! Every mechanic & car guy definitely knows that. When my Matrix just sat around during quarantine for 6 months, it developed a timing cover leak. It definitely wouldn't have happened if I actually USED it. The old saying is especially true for a car, use it or lose it. Even better, take your car for a half hour highway drive once a month so that it stays running good & warmed up

Great video. Remember what I said about royle purple ice radiator addive. Great stuff! It will help lubricant water pump and help the antifreeze. But! Still do your schedule maintenance on changing your coolant

a toyota camry has much more reasonably priced parts and the labour hours to replace the fancy electronic components on lexus is very expensive. I recently bought a 2010 toyota camry L E with the 2.5 liter 4 cylinder engine and 6 speed automatic transmission It only has 75,000 kilometers on it now. I plan to have all the fluids changed out soon in the car. I plan on keeping great care of the car so that it will have many, many years of lifespan left in it ! This youtube channel is awesome !

I have a 2020 RAV4 (got it late Nov 2019) and this year it's getting new coolant. Brake fluid also. For me engine oil is every 6 months or 4K. I change it using 0W-16 Mobil 1. Only fluid left is ATF. No dipstick, have to read up on that procedure. Nice car AMD, new pump with good maintenance and under carriage/body washing especially in the winter, should last a long time.
