really? where is the water pump? I guess you know that you have to remove the timing belt etc??? hehehehehe

Good luck then man... Looks like you have some $$$ stashed up somewhere and not worried about it LoL

Cjung · 03-31-2009, 12:30 AM

well i havnt worked on the 5s yet... but have worked on few corollas and hondas haha

and those cars werent that hard

honda_bar · 03-31-2009, 12:35 AM

matt, where my clip at! :P

masagsxr · 03-31-2009, 12:36 AM

almost all engines are the same. Timing belt would be in the way and will have to be removed. Didn't you have to do that when you worked on corollas and hondas? The waterpump is belt driven either it is shared with the drive belts or timing belt. I'd say 90% of the time the timing belt.

Cjung · 03-31-2009, 12:54 AM

well all the ones were i work at were drivin by driving belt which are a piece of cake to replace, the corollas i worked had chain for timing instead of belt so yea

masagsxr · 03-31-2009, 12:57 AM

right on.... Well, you've been warned. Timing belt on the our N/A's is in the way so there

Because i've never had the chance and i dont know wth im doing haha

good learning experience though

masagsxr · 03-31-2009, 01:20 AM

You need to get under all our cars next time... How about let's do a tranny fluid change on your car

Davis · 03-31-2009, 01:35 AM

Yeah our waterpumps are way in there, might as well replace the timing belt to while your at it!

Corollas are driven by the drive belts, super easy and they're gravy too, I love doing them at work.

Pays 3 hours and I can do it in an hour.

masagsxr · 03-31-2009, 01:38 AM

Ask your master tech if you can do all the easy ones

xltinlx · 03-31-2009, 01:39 AM

im down for a tranny fluid flush.. whahah

Davis · 03-31-2009, 01:40 AM

Oh yeah Tin, that essay sucked.

I couldn't really think of anything so I was pretty redundant.

Mark_Dorman · 03-31-2009, 01:40 AM

Man...BMW water pumps are on the front. You just drain the coolant, unbolt it, replace the thermostat and pump, button up, and refill the coolant (most time consuming part). One of the few occasions where BMW's are easier to work on than Toyota's. BMW's also you a timing chain...what a novel F*ing concept

I'm down to help with tranny fluid

Cjung · 03-31-2009, 01:46 AM

o yea davis today i looked at my lugnuts found out that they were open... hahaha

but either way i dont think imma replace them since 20 lugnuts are expensive...

Mark_Dorman · 03-31-2009, 01:48 AM
