Water Pump gone at 33700 Miles

The dry residue left by the water pump is not from a faulty water pump it has to do with the super long life coolant Toyota uses. It appears that the coolant can cause this condition from time to time and is considered normal.

So the fact that my overflow was empty and I couldn't see coolant in the rad is considered normal?

How come my coolant is green and how does coolant drip upwards to the hood,and with that much leaking coolant there would be a significant puddle under the car after parking a while..

It only leaks out once the system is hot and under pressure. It comes out of the water pump shaft, and gets sprayed when it hits the spinning pulley.

Your coolant is green because someone has done a service and used the incorrect coolant. It goes onto the hood cause when the water pump starts to go out it leaks through the weep hole. And as the water pump pulley spins it flings it in a rotational pattern spraying all around it including the hood.

My coolant has been green since the day i bought the car,as for 33k miles on the pump something aint right as My previous Echo went 220,000 and still had the original WP when i sold it,my current Echo has 120,000 with original WP says the previous owner and just turned 60k with no WP issues on the Yaris ,in fact asking around the factory no one who owns a Toyota has ever changed a water pumpcould the shaft be a little bent and be causing premature bearing failure on your particular engine?

How long does it take to have a toyota dealer fix/replace a water pump?

I took them about 5 hours and a bunch of scratches on my engine bay by the water pump. Yesterday when I was checking the replace of the water pump to see if it was done right and to check for leaks, I noticed that there is an oil leak coming from the gear box, it might be the Input shaft seal, I was able to smell the gear oil, the left axle seal has been replaced already, at this point the relation with my Yaris is between Love and Hate

Here is a list of things going wrong

-Seats Repaired with no good results (I ended fixing it myself)
-Mid exhaust section Replaced because of the sulfur smell
-Axle seal leaking
-Water pump
-Input shaft seal just started leaking (this might be the reason of the gearbox going early)
-Suspension noises all the way
-Still “enjoying” the stinky A/C smell

I hate that all this has happened to it cuz I really like the yaris but I don’t want to keep repairing this thing over and over, specially know that my warranty is almost expired.

I found out about the tsb of the A/C when the Yari was already 43k I had no idea that toyota had a solution already in place

YEAH, it comes from the spot down by the headlight blinker fluid....


FYI: almost ALL of toyota's water pumps are leaking. from camry's to our yaris we see at least 4/5 a day.....

Salt water/salt in the air doesn't help matters any.............vinegar kills mold and or change your A/C evaperator filter.

Mine went out yesterday with only 16K miles on it. I took my Yaris to the dealership twice and they assured me that there wasn't anything wrong. They will not to able to fix until Monday...
