Avensis water pump, DIY job?

Kencollins · 2013-11-23 16:20:21

Hi all, I need to change the water pump in my avensis, as it has not been changed the last 2 timing belt changes. It is the 1cd-ftv engine 2004 model with timing belt. The service manual says a lot has to be removed to get at the pump, as the injector drivers are bolted to it. Has anyone done one of these, and is it as bad…

Hi all,

I need to change the water pump in my avensis, as it has not been changed the last 2 timing belt changes.

It is the 1cd-ftv engine 2004 model with timing belt. The service manual says a lot has to be removed to get at the pump, as the injector drivers are bolted to it.

Has anyone done one of these, and is it as bad as I think? The manual advises Removing the fuel lines with a special tool, can this be done with something else?

I have done timing belts and water pumps on loads of other cars without issue, but I think this one might get me!

THanks,

Ken
