Has anyone had their Water Pump replaced?
I had my 2008 HB in for maintenance last week and was surprised that the dealership told me that the water pump is leaking and should be replaced. I have the extended warranty til 200,000km, so it didn't cost me any $$. My mileage is only 95,000kms.
I was wondering if anyone else has had to replace the waterpump? I am thankful that I bought the extended warranty!! I have had to replace the ABS sensor and water pump & the extended warranty only cost me $1200.00. These repairs would have put a deep dent into my wallet.

I changed mine 3 week ago at 41000 KM. A friend who have a 2007 (+- 40 000 KM) had the same problem. He work at the dealership where I bought my car and he ask me if my waterpump was leaking. Thanks to him!

"Extended warranty? How can I lose??!?"

not to start an argument over warranties, but I've found that putting a little bit away every month and budget for a repair before it happens saves over buying an extended warranty if you plan on keeping the car for an extended period of time.
glad you got your pump replaced at no cost to you though!

I told the Toyota dealer when I bought the car (and they twisted my arm to extend the warranty) "Im paying top dollar to buy a Toyota when I would save money buying a Korean car. If anything serious goes wrong with the car I wont be buying another Toyota!"

I think they wanted something around $1,000. Would have been 1,000 profit for them. Last edited by Kal-El; 09-15-2012 at 10:21 AM. |

The profit margins are quite high on those programs, and the Finance rep at the dealership makes a very nice spiff for selling them, so pricing is quite negotiable....don't pay list! You're betting against the house when you buy a warranty plan in any case, so my last advice is to make sure the underwriting company is a reputable one (Toyota, Zurich, etc) so do your due diligence BEFORE signing up for that warranty plan.

I'm at 192,000 and no water pump issues ... most likely something at the factory when they installed it I would think?

My last car (a GM model) had the water pump go out when it had just 8000 miles on it. |

Not to continue an argument over warranties, considering you could buy the pump yourself for <$100, and pay a family run garage <$100 to do it...instead of having the dealership charge the warranty $700 to do it...

in response to the OP. we rarely see this on the Yaris in comparison to other models. We stock ONE yaris W.P. We stock 4-5 of all other major models as W.P's are very common with the newer toyota's. There is some internal speculation that the increased W.P. rate is due to the pink coolant formulation. we didn't have near the problem with red coolant |

Well, with 126,000 miles on a water pump, I wouldn't call that low quality. That's longer than the industry average. Quote:

water pump bearings and leaking
Quote:
I have 126,000 miles on my Yaris Basic (USA), and the bearing could be heard for the last 6 or so thousand miles. I mistakenly thought it was the altinator bearing. I got the serpentine belt off and spun the altinator...smooth as glass good bearings. Everything seemed fine as I scratched my head wondering. I started the engine up without the serpentine belt in place...no noise. This told me it had to be the something that the serpentine belt spun up...the altinator, water pump, or air conditioner pump. I turned everything...all the bearings seemed fine. I then brushed my hand under the water pump, their was partially dried gunk their. A closer look revealed antifreeze leaking so slowly from the bottom of the water pump that it dried their to form a crust. The hole in the bottom of the water pump lets it leak out their if the seals fail. I replaced the water pump, that was my problem. I believe the seals failed letting antifreeze leak into the water pump bearings, thus the bearings started to fail. The failing bearing sang their warning song for 2 months before I troubleshot the problem. I am thankful for that. But a little disappointed in the quiality of the water pump. Hopefully the next one lasts longer. |
