Peter, the leaky water pump suggests that the timing belt, PS belt, drive belts and the oil pump seals should probably be replaced too since you are already in that neck of the woods. They should be at least inspected. Your customer is fortunate to have you as her mechanic.

The epitome of Toyota quality, for 1998, an updated model was introduced, but they cut corners to keep price lower and the interior was not as well made as the previous generation. They also introduced an all new, aluminum engine which was a notorious oil burner. Not so with the previous motor.

Oh, man...That's always a bummer. I had this same thing happen on a neighbor's Hyundai not too long back. Visually diagnosed a severely leaking radiator, only to replace it, pressure test the system prior to putting coolant in it, and finding the water pump leaking. It's a hard phone call to make. Ended up doing the radiator, followed by a timing belt/water pump job. Customer seemed fine with it but it's never fun to have to apologize for missing it during the initial diagnosis.

I recently replaced a drive belt for my 97 Toyota Corolla. The radiator had been replaced last year but now it is hard to keep coolant in the vehicle. The drive belt was replaced and it looked like it had many more miles on it but it was shredding. Looking at your video I suspect that now the water pump might be failing since it needs coolant often and may have been a contributing factor in the drive belt problem. Thank you for the video.
@cristiancruz5079

Hi Peter...i did mine like a year and a half ago. In order to reach the water you must remove timing belt. I think is a good idea to replace timing belt too. Plus you must remove harmonic balancer too. To install new water pump you must remove a 90 degree pipe located at the back of the engine that is attached to the plastic cover of the injection wiring hardness. But for sure you can watch any manual. Good luck with the 7AFE...waiting to see the video soon.

The car may need a timing belt and seals and drive belt. Also you should show the repairs. The coolant system should have been tested when the car was brought to you, and it needs to be flushed after you finish the repairs. The car is old and may not have had the proper regular maintenance.

The car has 159K miles and I have no idea if the water pump has ever been replace and Toyota history record shows up to 90000 miles. Do you think it has been replaced once? It's not leaking.

Ridiculous! Some people are scrimping by to pay for gas to get their child to dance lessons or karate. I can't stand all the internet warriors telling people their possessions are worthless and they should just buy new ones. Get a grip, for some people that is not a realistic possibility. I drive an older car, but only because it was my deceased fathers. I remember growing up poorer though, my mum couldn't afford fancy cars just because they were safer - it was by necessity that we had a 20-30 year old car. And yes they cost more in maintenance but if you don't have a spare $3000 there's not always an easy way to 'put it out of its misery' and 'get a newer car'.
