2004 Toyota Echo Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the water pump on 2004 Toyota Echo?

  A: The water pump service starts with draining the engine coolant followed by drive belt removal. First use Special Service Tool: 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00600) to eliminate the 3 bolts and pump pulley before removing the 3 bolts and 2 nuts leading to the water pump extraction with its gasket. An inspection of the water pump begins with visually inspecting its drain hole for coolant leaks and the pump requires replacement if leaks appear. A smooth operation of the water pump bearing during pulley rotation requires new pump installation when necessary. Fasten the water pump and new gasket onto the 3 bolts and 2 nuts before tightening them to 11.0 Nm (110 kgf-cm, 8 ft. lbs.). Next install the pump pulley with the 3 bolts using Special Service Tool: 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00600) torqued to 15 Nm (150 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.). After drive belt installation users should fill the system with engine coolant, begin engine startup and inspect for fluid leakage then evaluate the engine coolant concentration.
