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

  A: Draining the engine coolant and removing the Drive Belt stands as the first step before servicing and repairing the water pump. A technician should use Special Service Tool: 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00600) to remove three bolts and pump pulley before proceeding with the removal of three bolts and two nuts for the water pump and its gasket. You should inspect the water pump by visually examining its drain hole for coolant leakage until you decide to replace it. The pulley rotation will ensure smooth bearing operation; replace the water pump when necessary. The installation of the water pump requires you to add it with a new gasket using 3 bolts along with two nuts then torque the fasteners to 11.0 Nm (110 kgf-cm, 8 ft. lbs.). Follow the installation of the pump pulley through the use of Special Service Tool: 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00600) and torque the 3 bolts to 15 mm (150 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.) with their correct sizes. Synchronize the engine to 1500 RPM before filling the coolant tank and enabling the engine to run for a leak test before reassessing the coolant amount reported on the gauge.
