2000 Toyota Echo Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: Service and repairs on the water pump begin with draining engine coolant then removing the drive belt. Using Special Service Tool: 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00600), remove the 3 bolts and pump pulley before continuing with the 3 bolts, 2 nuts and subsequent removal of the water pump with gasket. Check the drain hole for coolant leaks on the water pump while visually inspecting it. Replace the water pump in cases of leakage discovery. The smooth operation and silent operation of the water pump bearing requires pulley turning and possibly necessitates a new water pump replacement. The installation requires you to attach the water pump along with a new gasket together with the 3 bolts and 2 nuts before torquing up to 11.0 Nm (110 kgf-cm, 8 ft. lbs.). You can use Special Service Tool: 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00600) to put on the pump pulley while torquing its 3 bolts to 15 Nm (150 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.). You must install the drive belt before filling with engine coolant while starting the engine to inspect for leaks then measuring the engine coolant level.
