In this much requested video I show you all the tips and tricks on replacing the often regarded as a difficult job of replacing the water pump on Toyota and Lexus’s popular V6 2GR-FE 3.5L engine without removing the engine and totally DIY with basic tools
This job is for medium level DIY mechanics who have done some basic tasks that are a bit more difficult than say an oil change. Basically if you’ve done your own spark plugs on this engine, the water pump will not be difficult.
The tools you need are very basic as you see in this video. Also I always recommend you use original Toyota water pump and coolant for replacement.
Parts needed :
Water Pump ( Original Water Pump includes all needed O Rings)
2 Gallons of coolant in most applications

Confirmed. Did that on my dad's 2006 RX350.
AMD im gonna replace the back differential fluid in my 2015 tundra. What’s the torque spec for the drain and fill plugs? Thank you!
How much does this apply to the 2GR-FSE?
You and Scotty have the best channels on YouTube.
Thank you very much for this great video. Could you please do a video on how to replace a third brake light in car equipped with a rear sunshade like the 2011 Avalon you have right there. There are almost no videos about it on YouTube.
how much does that cost? labor &materials?
you the man!
Something else I won't have to worry about after I switch to an EV…hopefully it will be a Toyota product by then.
Thanks for this Video.
So complicated work, thank you.
Another great video AMD. So is there a certain year when Toyota started using the new version water pump on the 2GR-FE engines?
What a PITA. Pretty sure the water pump will fail on my 2007 2GR-FE at some point but I won't be changing the pump myself.
Can I get android auto on my 2018 Camry xse v6 with the JBL system
thanks for this brother
It feels like Boxing day every time I click into your newly released video, thank you very much dear Mr. & Mrs. Car Care Nut.
Anytime I dive into uncharted waters like a doing a job I've never done before, I look at videos like this to give me an idea of what I am in for. Thank you AMD for sharing you knowledge clearly and in an intriguing way 😉 !
I would just let the dealer do it, it’s a complex job, not any DIY guys can do this, certainly not me
Thanks for the great video! When did they switch to the new style pump that lasts longer. Watching this video is a reminder to keep that coolant fresh!
as usual, great explanation of the steps needed to complete the task at hand !
Great video, after doing a lot of them they still are not anywhere near my favourite job. It’s even worse for room on a hybrid.
Now that we are having t-stat failures on most 3.5l its a job that’s more common.
Great video
Keep it coming
Thank you
Hi my friend AMD n friends
So how many hours does the Toyota stealership charge for the water pump job? So knowing that the dealer will charge you the full pop of engine removal to do the job??
