2000 Toyota Celica Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the water pump on 2000 Toyota Celica?

  A: The water pump service starts with removing the right-hand engine under cover while draining engine coolant before driving belt removal. You need to remove the 6 bolts and water pump with its O-ring while cleaning the water chamber room free of engine coolant for the 1ZZ-FE engine. Special Service Tool: 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00600) enables the removal of four water pump pulley set bolts before uninstalling the pulley and six bolts, water pump, and O-ring. Clean the engine coolant from the water chamber room before proceeding with installation. The right-hand engine mounting bracket as well as the generator must not be removed during water pump replacement. The water pump requires inspection to check for coolant leaks in the drain hole; replace the water pump if leakage occurs. Check the bearing movement in the water pump by rotating its pulley until it demonstrates quiet performance which indicates the need for a pump replacement. After installing the new O-ring on the timing chain cover of the 1ZZ-FE engine base the six bolts on the water pump while torquing Bolt A to 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm) and Bolt B to 11 Nm (113 kgf-cm), following specific bolt length specifications. The procedure for installing a new water pump with its O-ring on the timing chain cover requires torqueing each bolt to 15 Nm using Special Service Tool: 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00600). The last steps include installing the right-hand engine under cover followed by the drive belt and engine coolant addition. Start the engine to find leaks while checking the engine coolant level again.
