2010-2015 Prius ICE water pump replacement

Ice water eh... Sounds like something to do with fridges.

(I've got a vendetta against "ICE"; when "engine" seems to do the trick. Never sure why we need to slavishly clarify that our "engines" are "Internal Combustion Engines". As opposed to some sorta steam engines, external combustion engines, or? It gets even wonkier when you hear "ICE engine", which means "Internal Combustion Engine...Engine", lol.)

Sorry, I'm still under the sway of this morning's Americano. And truly, thanks for the video, will have a look.

 

I'll reply once I've been to the ATM machine and bought another keyboard to plug into this USB bus.

 

Right, it's our weird shibboleth habits the newcomers latch onto first.

Just calling the engine the engine would seem so ... out of touch.

 

Acronyms aside, thanks for the video... I need to share it with someone with this error code but before I do I'm wondering if anyone who has done this job before can watch the video and indicate if there's anything left out, or some tips and tricks to make it even easier?

 

That's what I thought... Just wondering if there's options related to draining the coolant? I think there's more than one location to drain coolant from and maybe one location is easier than another? Also wondering if it'd be easier to do a partial drain of coolant, and if so what that amount is?

 

PS: Thanks for your research on Aisin pumps... Gen2 Prius have inverter coolant pump problems and there's so many cheap ones for under $30 that I've been trying them out and discounting for the hassle for customers if they don't last very long... I just bought an Aisin inverter coolant pump for $33 and it's sitting on my parts rack ready to go and I'm feeling better about this one because of what you said in your video.
