Very good video on replacing the water pump, I did the same job on 2014 chevy cruze and replaced all the hoses too. The radiator hoses on battery side was difficult, until I decide to remove battery and holder, it gave a lot more room and was able to use the cable clamp, it made it much easier, from underneath the car.
Do you have the part number
Great video. One thing I did differently on the drive side radiator hose is I disconnected the intake hose on that side, which made it much easier to access the radiator hose clamp. Still the driver's side hose replacement eats up a lot of time.
FYI EVERYONE…GM WARRANTIES THE WATER PUMP FOR 10 YEARS 150,000 MILES.
Don't think I have seen a Cruze engine not absolutely covered in oil. My god this car is such a POS.
Best step-by-step video ever it helped a lot and made it super easy thank you 🙂
This is the nonsense you get hiring ex nuclear physicists to design a simple 4 cyl. motor . Motor mount bolts designed to break off after one use. no wonder chevy went tits up.
Great video, lighting, sound, and information. What are the part numbers for the bolts you said to replace.
Probably, one of thee best play by play I've ever seen. Thank you, video was great audio was even better. This is definitely a technical repair and you made it look manageable.
Dude why didn’t you show the bolt pattern to the water pump
Does any one have the GM part numbers on the motor bolts and motor mount bolts that are torque to yield?
Thank you so much for a great video!
Tell me your stories of failures related to torque issues? Snug it up. Move on.
Why remove the air cover? pull the assembly as a whole.
There's an even easier way to do this job. Just drive it to your local Chevrolet Dealer. There's a G.M. factory recall on these cars for a faulty water pump. If your car has 150,000 miles or less and the car is 10 years old or newer, G. M. will fix it for free. You do not need to be the original owner.
How easy is that!
