Some comments are saying removing the water pump is not as easy for them as it was for me. You could remove the front right wheel and plastic liner to get extra access if it is too tight on the normal Prius/CT200h. All I had to do was remove the air intake and I had plenty of room on my Prius V. Let me know if it is true and if this helps!

Very informative, I like how neat you do everything

Nice idea with the ramp and jack combo

Excellent video, some great tips and tricks.

Solid video. Great explanation. Thank you!

Thanks for the comment! I looked at your channel because the profile photo reminded me of my first bike, a two stroke Kawasaki KE100. You have some awesome looking videos.

Best video by far. Tackling this job shortly. Should have done it when I did the intake manifold and EGR system but live and learn I guess. Didn’t throw a code yet, but trying to be proactive at 165k miles. Thanks again.

Thanks for the comment & smart move on the preventative maintenance! Personally I’d keep a code scanner in your glovebox, then if it ever does happen you can clear the code and make it home. If I had not had a scanner I’d have been stuck needing a tow, or at the very least a ride to get a scanner. Although 230k is a lot more than 165k, I also know a ‘12 Prius in the family with 240k that has had 0 issues. It’s a random gamble like anything.

It’s amazing sometimes the simplest tools make the most difference. Like a good hook & pick set, I use them all the time. But as you said, the right ratchet or wrench to fit that tight spot is a must. Thanks for your comment.

pink coolant: 60 usd at dealers, 30 usd at walmart. I really like your scheme. When I did my clutch, i would draw a diagram by hand and label each bolt by size and length.

Great video bro! I have a 2017 lexus ct200h and im about to replace my water pump rotor only, i seen another guy on you tube that figured out that u dont have to buy a brand new water pump, the rotor is $27 thru Amazon under the dasbecan brand. I just need to buy some more tools tmrw and coolant and the gasket $12. $70 for everything vs. $1,000 at mechanic shops

That would be easiest. Otherwise you need to measure out the concentrate and mix with distilled water at the right ratio (most run 50/50, but the bottle has a chart you can follow). Concentrate is cheaper once diluted (you get 2x as much), but less convenient.

Great video, thanks! What size were the both the bolts for which you needed the long ratchet with the flexible head? I need to buy one before attempting.

@BrenoAutoGarage I couldnt get the bolt out, so I jammed a post into the hole on top of the bolt, caked it with jb weld, put the pump on, put more jb weld into the space in the hole for the water pump bolt, then fastened a nut to it. It had help so far, maybe 5k miles later

Madman enters the chat! Would not be fun to take apart again, but I bet it will hold up. I would probably have slathered the pump/gasket with RTV in that area and left the bolt missing myself. Either way, glad to hear you got it done & back on the road.

HELP, please. Problem is sporadic random overheating, accompanied with coolant liquid blown out tru the release valve on the plastic overflow container. I installed new thermostat (ebay), new water pump (the old one looks ok, and the rotor does not appear to be damaged) pressure test was good, keeps 12 psi for long time, exhaust fumes in coolant is negative, I pumped many many many times, the liquid remains blue... Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Did you get the issue resolved? If we know the head gasket is ok, then no extra heat is being added, there must be an issue with heat being removed. Possibly a blocked radiator, not dissipating the heat. I’m not sure how the ECU controls the water pump, but if the coolant temp sensor was off it might not be requesting enough flow? That is what comes to my mind.

@west_park7993

@@BrenoAutoGarage i believe that i solved the problem, but i do not know what exactly was the problem. my radiator is ok, because my liquid is crystal clear transparent, no precipitates, and because i was able to drive 3 h in the hotest part of the day tlh-jax. then, after i changed the temperature sensor, seems like no more overheating. how and why the temp sensor causes overheating have no idea. Because the theromstate was also changed. unless, malfunctioning temp sensor tells computer the water is cold, and computer reduces the pump rpm. but then comes the funniest part. temp sensor is a platinum wire. because platinum resistivity vs temperature diagram is very well known. please find it on the internet. i checked my temp sensor, it reads 1500-2000 ohms, which is right for ambient temperature. Well, I went tlh- jax and back, no more overheating. (Do you know the song Ohm, Sweet Ohm by Kraftwerk?)

I have a 2011 and was able to do it myself easily. Not sure if it’s different in other generations. Once you remove the air intake cover it opens up a lot of room. I also took my right front tire off after jacking the car up and it gave so much more room from the bottom. It’s very easy. Do the thermostat at the same time while you’re down there.
