2005 Toyota Echo Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the water pump on 2005 Toyota Echo?

  A: Service of the water pump begins with draining the engine coolant followed by drive belt removal. Special Service Tool: 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00600) enables users to remove three bolts securing the pump pulley before taking off the three bolts and two nuts that hold the water pump and its gasket. The water pump inspection requires you to look at the drain hole for coolant leakage until you find replacement of the water pump. Perform a test of the pulley rotation to verify water pump bearing movement while inspecting the noise levels before water pump replacement becomes necessary. Placement of the water pump together with a new gasket using 3 bolts and 2 nuts should be followed by torque application to 11.0 Nm (110 kgf-cm, 8 ft. lbs.). Using Service Tool: 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00600) install the pump pulley through installation of its three bolts while torquing them to 15 Nm (150 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.). Complete the installation by setting the drive belt followed by engine coolant addition then start the engine for leak inspection and verify engine coolant level.
