Just did this same thing on my 2016 encore this weekend. Mine only has 48k. When i got in there i noticed the 3 pulley bolts werent very tight nor were half of the ten bolts that hold pump on. 😅 I coated the gasket mating surface with a light film of Right Stuff to make sure no leak. When i transferred my pump bolts i took a black sharpy and numbered each bolt and housing.

Purchased a 2016 Buick Encore Saturday 7/2 from Palmen Gm in Kenosha Wisconsin. Excellent Dealership BTW. The SUV has 101K Miles. Before I got Home, got the Overheat Error Code. Pulled over to find the Pump leaking like a siv. Long Holiday weekend and Im in deep trouble. The vid was great. Same problem. Lack of equipment makes it beyond this old mans capabilities. My dealer isnt going to be happy. 1st Problem Ive ever had. Things happen.

Good purchase. I have had mine for 5 yrs. Just replaced the water pump on mine. Coupe of small issues with plastic parts the use on cars these days but really a solid little engine. Go ahead and replace the oil feed line to the turbo. It’s the lifeline for it. They get clogged over time and kill the turbo. 15 min/ $15 fix. These things are responsible for 85% of turbo failure.

Hey, great vid!! On those different length bolts; I suck at keeping track. So I’ll put them into the new part, pull the old part, transfer them to the old part for reference then I don’t worry about dropping them. Or punch them into the box that the new part came in. But sometimes the vendor doesn’t like their cores going back in a beat up box.

Does jacking up the motor not damage or bend other components? I know there's only one motor mount but this feels a little scary.
@HotRodDave

It is common practice on engine repair. You do have to be very carful were you place a jack and how high you lift. Every car is different and you should use caution when doing any repair work you are not trained in. There is other supporting devises that can be used on some engines and cars from the top side.

Could you give an average price to consumers as of 12/22. Also how much actual time did this repair take or should take? As I understand it the manual says 4 hours.

I really don't have a way to give you a price or how long it would take you. Every area has different pricing and people have different skill levels and tool availability. I would call around to shops in your area for pricing.

Dang that doesn't look fun! My 201t encore with exactly 56,000 miles sprung a leak in that area of the water pump- I wanna cry when I see how involved this is. Golly day! Why Gm!? Just why!? But you gave me hope I can do it ......maybe! Lol. What would this cost for a shop to perform?

I really don't know the cost. I have not ran a shop in years. I'm sure if you call a local shop they will give you a price on the phone. Some will want to look at it for a accurate estimate.

Look up the part yourself and add about 50% to that. In this case, I would say you're probably looking at a couple of hours of labor for a trained mechanic at about $100 an hour. Some shops will tell you to change all the incidental stuff as he mentioned here. He chose to re use most things as most everything was still in very good condition. Honest mechanics will do that. The tensioners on these cars are an absolute joke and could need replaced as well (add $100). To answer your question, you can see why costs can very greatly. You would be amazed at what's on the internet and it pays to do some research yourself, like the example I just gave. You can get a good idea as to what a reasonable fee should be in about 20 minutes of researching your problem. Some things, you may even say, well heck I can do that in about ten minutes.🙂
