Make sure the water pump is either for your Japan or American water pump, bolts wont lineup correctly if different from your make country. Good job.
Yes, there is 2 models. Make sure it’s the correct one.
I just wanted to say thank you! You saved me $400 by allowing me to do this replacement on my own! kudos!
Max1mus0 np! glad we could help.
Extremely helpful and instructive. Just did this today on my cl9 tsx. Made things alot easier. There is actually 7 bolts holding up the waterpump and LISTEN TO THIS GUY WHEN HE SAYS ABOUT THE NUT BEHIND THE TENSIONER BOLT ! took me 30min to get it out behind the alternator when i lost it. KEEP IT UP !
+Michael Le thanks! :)
Thank you for the series of videos! I wouldn't have performed the work myself without them. I was able to unmount the power steering pump and suspend it with a bungee without disconnecting the hoses. Made the job substantially less difficult to not have to bleed the PS system.
+Matt Warren good work
Maybe it’s his easy going voice but I’m feeling like that should be a pretty easy project.
Agreed. 🤭
Compared to a vw jetta... that's nothing
I just replaced the water pump in my 2004 Honda Accord. I found I did not have to remove the power steering pump or the belt tensioner assembly--but I did replace the tensioner pulley and belt while I was replacing the pump--seemed wise to do it all at the same time. The only problem I had was with the front bottom 10mm bolt. It was a bear to get out, but a breeze to put back on the new pump--I hot melt glued the 10mm bolt to my 10mm deep socket to get it started.
good to know. They do sell 10mm socket with a magnet tip for those types of issues. The magnet would keep the bolts in place so it won't fall off of the socket when installing.
Jim Myers u need a video
Next time use Teflon
Wow. Awesome and clear video. Many people have videos that don’t show you anything. Great detail
I’m going to look at a 2003 Honda Accord tomorrow that has 151,000 miles on it. Buying it for my kids first car…. The owner claims he just changed the timing belt and water pump about 6 months ago ….. anyway of me verifying this when I go look at it ? To see if he’s bluffing ya know.
Love your videos!! Very helpful, I own a Honda accord LX 03 2.4 and it helps me fix my issues. Thank you so much!
My 2004 Accord LX, 2.4 liter 4cyl, 5 speed manual was at 230,000 miles plus.... so I did a triple threat maintenance :
... water pump, timing tensioner, serpentine belt also did the thermostat, both radiator hoses ( upper & lower ) and engine coolant with Honda specific Coolant...
.... I had my Accord brand new off lot with 50 miles on odometer and have used synthetic oil since day one with filer change at 5k miles so everything is exactly what came on my car except brakes, shocks and fluid these cars last long if you take care of them best $18 grand I've spent in my life
yeah they do last along time.
Hajile Serpud oh my, we have same car, 5 speed and all, I getting ready to do all u just said, I'm at 200020
Hajile Serpud bought it brand new too 2006 se
Jay Dawg Cee lol... That's my only mistake I should of gotten the SE or EX with all the options and luxury... But my LX is still great I can't complain, best of luck buddy
Thanks for the video, I just changed the water pump on my honda stream, this had one bit of difficulty since I had to lower the sub frame to get the engine low enough to access the lower 3 bolts on the pump.
nice
how did you diagnose the failed pump? I'm getting code p2185 (ect fan switch ). , I replaced the ect fan switch. the thermostat is supposed to open at 172℉ and the ECT fan switch closes at 199℉ . However my scanner is reading coolant temperature of over 180℉ and the lower hose isn't hot, meaning the thermostat isn't opening . I'm changing the thermostat tomorrow. I'm hoping the thermostat does the job. If it doesn't I'm probably going to change the water pump . just curious if you had the same problem?
the water pump was more for preventative maintenance, it wasn't diagnosed or anything. As for your issues, I would check the thermostat since the lower radiator hose was not hot.
i havent done this on my car yet ,
i heard the voice from you when you fast foward it ,sounds funny
reminds me of your other video
where u change the transmission fluid
Thanks for the video. I unfortunately over torqued the two water pump bolts at the bottom and broke one of them for sure. Im super miffed now that I have to have a garage drill them out and probably gonna charge the heck out of me for it.
Ouch, yeah you’ll have to drill it out. Next time, use a 1/4 ratchet, it’ll prevent you from over torquing the bolt.
@@NutzAboutBolts Finally got my daughters Honda Accord to the shop. The guy charged me $698 to pull the power steering pump, and water pump so they could drill out the broken bolts and put everything back together. Insult to injury, the heater control valve was what was causing the engine to overheat and the cooling fan to not come on, making the total price $980. I got blindsided by this guy. I'm super miffed at myself for botching this job. I've been doing my own repairs on this car, my wife's and my truck and i've never screwed up this bad. Good luck to everyone else out there, but i'm taking a break on car repairs for awhile. My confidence and ego are shot.
@@nytshade2 so sorry. Don’t give up. Your ladies need you to fix their cars. I hope you are back at work
@@sgaindy3187 $980 for the garage to remove the power steering pump, alternator, to drill out the broken bolts and replace what turned out to be the heater valve that opens/closes the door for the heater coil that supplies heat to the inside car cabin. I was SUPER MIFFED at myself for about a week straight.
It got fixed though, in the end. Haven’t thought about this in awhile. Slightly annoyed now lol
I got back to it. Just replaced the inner and outer tie rods on my truck for both sides to get past state inspection a month ago. That wasn’t too bad. Ended up having to replace both CV shafts and sway bar links on my moms Honda Civic two weeks ago so she could pass her state inspection today. It’s never ending with car repairs but it’s cool when you can do it yourself for cheap.
First, great video!...Second, I saw in some other comments that you basically said Honda says the wp should be replaced at 120k on these cars, but I cannot find that in my owners manuals anywhere. Can you point me where this info is? The reason I'm asking is my 130k-mile, 2007 Accord's coolant level seems to be dropping quicker than it normally should, but I don't see any other evidence of leakage anywhere... oil looks good, too. Thanks.
Why fix it if it's broken? They last a lot longer than people realize, you don't hear people talk much about the water pump going bad? Maybe the notorious starters, but not so much the water pump.
BEST CHANGE IT...COOLANT LOSS WILL QUIT...
Do you really need to disconnect the lines of the power steering pump? is it possible just to remove the pump complete and move it to the side?
The hoses going to the reservoir might be in the way... you can try it and let us know.
You can remove the water pump without disconnecting the Power Steering pump it’s a tighter fit but you can
Hey, thanks for this video.
I ran into the pump problem you were talking about. I went to OReilly's site and searched, and they have two models for the 2003 Accord EX 4 cyl: CP9434 and CP9461 . They look pretty much identical to the naked eye, but, as you said, the bolts won't line up. They are 1 or 2 millimeters further apart on the Japan one, I think.
I do not have J as the first letter of my VIN (referring to your other answer), so I'm guessing I have an American built one, and CP9461 is the one that fit on mine. It's 20 dollars more :) . OReilly could use a little warning there, but I guess they don't have that level of sophistication on their website to have people input VIN.
Anyway--thank you again for your video!
glad it worked out for you :)
Wow you totally predicted they're sites future now they do have Vin input
Your video is most helpful . I would like to know if the Honda you are working on is U.S. built or Japan ? Is the vin. # on the vehicle start with a J to indicate Japan made ? Reason is the Honda Accord that needs new water pump doesn’t have J in the vin number don’t recall letter , not a J .
Thanks for help with this video.
Next time you do a video or even maybe on this one You can edit it.. But it's always good to Explain what size Metric the sockets or wrenches that you use.
Great video. Quick question. How do you know when it is time to change the water pump?
Sandra Hunt its usually at 120k miles, anything past that can cause water pump failure.
NOISE IN START UP(RATTLE) AND A BIT OF COOLANT LOSS...ONCE THE SEAL GOES...WAY PAST TIME TO CHANGE IT...I HAS PUMP FAIL...IT MADE NOISE AT START UP...WHATS THAT ??? 1 BOTTLE OF WATER EVERY FEW DAYS...THEN BLOOSH...SEAL GAVE OUT BECAUSE BEARING WORE OUT...I KNOW BETTER...HA...JUST DIDNT PUT IT TOGETHER...🤪👈
Are the bolts known to snap?
thank's for this video, can some one tell me how do I tell if the w/pump is bad, does it leak does it have a bleeding hole like the old chevy's at the bottom of the pump??
Great video; it helped me a lot. I did this on a 2006 TSX. The access to the pump bolts is terrible. It took me 1/2 day to R&R the pump. I could not torque one of the bolts. If I do this job again, I will pack the lower 3 bolt holes with grease to hold the bolts, and insert the bolts on the bench prior to the new pump install.
The tensioner and pump were making noise...
Your thoughts?
And thanks for the vid!
Jeff Keryk grease could work but shouldn't be necessary. Did replacing the water pump fixed the noise?
NutzAboutBolts The engine purrs, just like when new. At 124K miles, the pump and tensioner bearings were worn. The belt was OK, but perhaps glazed. The very small amount of room to access the 3 lower bolts, especially the one at the right of the pump were very difficult. Perhaps there is more room on your car (Accord)? Even 1 additional inch would be doable.
Jeff Keryk not too sure... we had skinny hands to do the job lol...
i have a question y did u change it??was it bad or make whine noise ..my car whine n ppls say it might b the water pump so lmk ..thanks
+Ger Mai Lee it was more of a demonstration, water pump should be change every 120k.
Good video boy. Me know how fi do dis to me car now. Keep up di gud work.
thanks!
@@NutzAboutBolts pp
Great instructional video. Thank you.
Hello... At the beginning of your video, you stated there are two versions for the water pump---American & Japanese. Depending on where the car is assemble, that will determine which water pump you need. What would happen if the car has the wrong version installed? The reason I'm asking is, I had a water pump installed at a national repair company in Sept. 2015 with 197K miles on my vehicle. It is now August 2016 (223K miles). The same merchant is telling me I need another new water pump since the Sept2015 water pump is leaking. I have gone over the warranty mileage, they are telling me my warranty will not cover it. But I find it strange that I need another water pump when the OEM water pump that was on my car lasted for 190K miles. Since my Accord has high mileage, does the merchant's recommendation to get a new pump sound accurate?
First off, I'm surprised the warranty for the water pump is out of warranty so early when water pumps are supposed to last till 120k miles or so. As for the different version of water pumps, if your vehicle is made in Japan but you got a US version water pump, the bolt holes won't match up with the engine and you won't be able to install the water pump. I'm not sure why your water pump is leaking but I'm surprised it went bad after less than 30k miles. And your car high mileage has nothing to do with the new installed water pump, unless they installed it wrong some how to cause the leak... I mean if it's leaking by the water pump, wouldn't that be their problem since they installed it last? It just sounds fishy to me.
Thank you sir! I appreciate your prompt and honest reply. It sounds fishy to me also since it has only been 23,300 miles since they installed it. I am going to all their headquarters and file a complaint. I have been going to them for years and I feel like I got ripped off.
Yeah, parts don't last less than 30k and starts going bad. I'm surprised they're making you pay for this.
some of the parts out there now days are complete crap. made in China and Korea among others. get Japan made parts . Asian brand water pumps for Honda's. it's oem
LOVE these videos when nick does these videos only!!
Excellent video !!!! But I have a question..... I have the same car and I was wondering if this car use a timing belt or a timing chain ??? Cause, I couldn't find a video about how to change it.
the 4 cylinder is timing chain, the V6 is timing belt. If your timing cover is plastic, its a belt, if its a metal cover, its a timing chain.
Hey bud, question about the water pump. My car has been losing coolant lately and there is never a leak anywhere. I assumed that it was a head gasket issue. If there was an issue with the water pump would it cause my car to loose coolant and possibly overheat?
You've got probably already solved this issue but yes, the gaskets in the pump can fail and cause leaks. There is a weep hole in the water pump for that reason. That's probably where your issue is.
Should I replace the thermostat when I replace the water pump as well? Or the thermostat doesn’t need replacement unless it goes bad? Is there a mileage interval on replacing the thermostat?
We recommend both but if it’s not broken, it’s ok. Usually the mileage to change is 120k. I’m still on the original and it’s at 150k lol
@@NutzAboutBolts my wife went to get an oil change on her sons Honda and she asked about the overheating and they told her it was the water pump and that it would be $850 to replace that and the thermostat and flush and add new coolant so she said no but she will talk to me about it and they told her if they don't do the thermostat it will only be 550 to me that sounds ridiculous
Water pump bolts at 102 ft. lbs or 102 in. lbs torque?
inch lbs., its a small bolt so its inch. ft. lbs. would probably break the bolt lol :)
The temperature gauge goes up slightly while traveling uphill, but then goes back to normal what should i check first? 2004 Honda Accord, 160,000
any check engine light? the temp gauge should be in the middle, if it goes above that, I would be concern.
Great video. I credited you for having a great installation video on my review for the wph-054 water pump on Amazon. I have a question. When I did it, the old water pump had some crusting on the bottom part of the seal and crud was left behind on the mating surface. I used some wire brushes and "goop" adhesive remover to try to get it off. Felt fairly smooth, but was still discolored when I installed new pump. It's not leaking at this point, but I just did it yesterday. What do you use to clean the mating surfaces on the aluminum block? And how clean does it have to be? Just smooth, or absolutely shiny metal clean?
David Stevenson you can just wire brush it out, it doesn't have to be aluminum clean. Just make sure there's nothing on the mating surface. The crust that was left there was from the coolant. It should be fine.
NutzAboutBolts Thank you!
How does one check where the car was built?
When replacing the water pump on a V6, do you have to replace the timing belt as well?
If you're replacing just the water pump, you don't need to replace the timing belt. But if you're replacing the timing belt and the water pump hasn't been replaced, it'll be easier to do them both so you don't have to go back and remove everything to get to the water pump again.
Total man hours for removing all necessary parts and reinstalling with new water pump? Need to change mine also. Just would like a guide line on how long I'll be working on it, since it is my daily driver. Thanks
less than 2 hours.
Is the water in Japan more radioactive or something? Why are they different?
What was wrong with it that you had to replace it for?
how would you know if you need a new water pump
the water pumps us different is one is from v4 and the other is for v6
No
what do you think is wrong with my car. almost every day i have to add coolant. i check my dipstick and no signs of any coolant mixing with the oil. i bought a thermostat and radiator cap coz its not getting any coolant from the reservoir either. what do you think is wrong with it. thanks in advance
This may be extremely late, but from what I understand, there are 2 different radiators a denso (nippondenso) and valeo radiator, and apparently, they have different threads and sizes so replacing the cap with one that doesn't actually belong on the radiator won't work from what i heard same with the fans not being interchangeable
my 2008 Honda accord heats up on traffic,I already replaced the thermostat also the radiator do you think could be the water pump?
Make sure both radiator fans are working. If one or both are not working, overheating will occur while stopped in traffic.
WATER PUMP GASKET...USE GASKACINCH...NEVER MOVE NOR LEAK...USED IT FOR YEARS...MOTORCYCLES CARS TRUCKS...NEVER EVER LEAKS...AND HOLDS THE GASKET(NO MATTER WHAT GASKET EITHER...!!!) ALSO ON BOLTS CALLING FOR THREAD SEAL GOING INTO BLOCK...CRAZY KEWL STUFF...(& I DONT WIRK FOR THEM EITHER!!!)
Why do need torque ranch to put water pump back on?
You need to torque to spec, too little, it’ll come off, too tight it’ll come off but even worse 😂😂
What version water pump is needed for a Honda made in Japan? Will the water pump be made in Japan as well?
You'll need a Japan made water pump, don't buy the U.S version, it won't fit.
Did you just re-install the old water pump after removal? If not, what did the old one look like? Was anything broken?
Yes, this was a demonstration. Usually you want to change it after 120-150k, over time it leaks or doesn’t work properly
@@NutzAboutBolts I probably need to change mine out. The radiator fan won't switch on despite me changing the ECT 2 sensor (fan switch) and the thermostat.
@@biglos9d any check engine light?
@@biglos9dhave you tried disconnecting the fan connector and just power it up to make sure the fan works and not the switch or other part issue?
@@NutzAboutBolts the fans kick on when AC is engaged. Fans kick on when the ECT 2 wiring harness is jumped with a paper clip. They don't kick on when Coolant temp is over 210 F according to code scanner.
Hello! Im Confused about coolant ,what coolant do you use for your car? Thanks for this video.
tigaspinoypower its the blue OEM Honda coolant.
NutzAboutBolts Oic Thanks!
No super glue.... Maybe some synthetic grease to lightly hold it ..
great manual, thank you so much man.
Appreciate it
Hey does anybody know the actual name for the side cover splash guard that he removes when he has the car lifted? Mine broke off and I can't find the name of the part so I can order a new one
It’s called the fender lining
@@NutzAboutBolts thanks for the tip the problem is when I do a search for Fender lining it shows the actual wheel liner not that side cover that covers the crankshaft pulley
is there a way to replace only the water pump pulley by it self or the whole w/p needs to be replace if the pulley is bad?the w/p pulley on my car is kind of loose and is making a weird noisey I thought it was the serpentine belt but is not.
the water pump pulley is attached to the water pump, I don't think they sell just the pulley by itself.
Thanks very much for the help and the faster answer man keep doing those videos for the Honda Accord they really help a lot!!
will do, but not much left lol.
If I may, it's not possible. Change the pump soon or the friction will soon put a load on the engine among other bad things.
I need help
I had my car to get it check up because the the temp gauge was going way above the middle , they said that my water pump stop working and that it leak onto the timing belt and tensioner and wanted to charge me 1,456 $ in total , I don’t think it cost that much just to fix it
I have a 2007 Honda accord V6
How do i know if my car built in japan? 2006 accord ex sedan CALIFORNIA. Thanks
If the first letter in your VIN is a J, its made in Japan.
hey... i got an 98 vs accord... do i have to remove the timing belt too? to replace the water pump
+saul farias yes
Do I need to replace the timing belt aswell, if I replace the water pump?
+MrRookie714 no, its a timing chain.
+MrRookie714 No its driven by the serpentine belt. You might as well replace the serp belt when its out.
+John W Powell
Check the serp for cracks/inch this will really tell you if you need to replace it. The guy at the shop just told me that mine was up for a replacement... even though I had just replaced it myself...
Protoripe : exactly right. My belt had cracks, so it's good to inspect it whenever you take it off.
Lying sinners....
Super Detailed Video, Thank You
What is the size of the six bolts. That hold the water pump in place?
Lester Bass they’re 10mm bolts. we put all the info in the description box
Will this be the same procedure for a 2007 v6 accord?
Cecilia P no, the V6 has a timing belt, so you'll have to remove the timing belt and timing belt adjuster before you can remove the water pump.
No wonder why shops charge so much, it looks like a pain in the ass to replace.
No, this is straight forward. Everything is accessible once you remove a few parts. There are other hondas where you have to take more parts off and lower the engine to access. Those are a pain in the ass.
Why u finally install old water pump?
Amazing man!!!
do u have to remove the belt tensioner to do this?
willy wonka Yes, unfortunately.
That's the V6?
no 4 cylinder
What was the mileage at this water body change
Awsome videos, I look forward to trying it this week :)
Goran Gerin thanks! gl!
Just to followup, I did it in my garage in a few hours and it only cost about $200 for parts and fluids. Hardest part was getting the 3 lower bolts of the water pump, not a lot of space for my hands. Easy job :) Thanks again for the videos
Goran Gerin Yeah the bottom is a little tight with the last 3 bolts lol. Glad you got this done, thanks for the update!
Nice shoes
🤣🤣 it’s our weekend gig 💁🏻♂️
U should fill coolant before lowering the car. Easier to purge air out of coolant system.
? how so? I have the spill free funnel, which bleeds the air out of the system without doing anything and just wait. The only way to bleed the air out of the system faster is by reving the engine up to get the coolant to be hot to bleed all the air out.
What are the symptoms of a failing pump on a k series engine?
engine overheats
Can you do a video on a water pump housing for the 2.4l. I have an 03 accord ex
