Hay all,

 

Recently I started getting a high pitch squeeling noise from the waterpump pulley, whenever I spin it manually it has a noise.

So I was wondering is there any way to just replace a bearing or do I have to replace the whole pump, if I can just replace a

bearing how much work is it, its a smallport 4age. thanks for the help

The bearing can be replaced, but for the effort of having to use a bearing press and what not.

You'll find it easier just to toss the old one over your left shoulder as the new one is getting fitted up.

What towe001 said.

 

The re-kit is a P.I.T.A.

thanks for the help guys, it's really anoying the pump can't be any more than 8 months old and genuine toyota

no doubt it will be a P.I.T.A

hey mate make sure you get a 4age one as they are diffrent to the 4af pumps learnt that the hard way.

yah thanks I will, I always ended up having a fight with the chick that worked at burson when I said the 4age was from an ae92 she's like u mean ae93 right

and I'm like no I don't it's from an ae92 and then she thinks I'm giving her a hard time coz she's a chick in a parts store which has nothing to do with it,

ever since then I go to toyota with a helpfull old fella, genuine toyota is USUALLY better anyway.

i find it funny when you say to them you want a ae86 4age waterpump. then they ask what car is it in and you say ke70. then they turn around and say the ke70 dosent have a 4age in them. then you say i no thats why i asked for a ae86 water pump then they look at you silly. all so get the same things at the wreckers then they try and tell you that part wont fit.

Well she is correct, the parts system will say AE93 as the 100kw 4age was released in the AE92 vin but plated as an AE93.

Trev your a toyopedia. Yah I gathered it was something like that, I didn't really give her a hard time was just stubborn, for that exact reason when I looked at the car it came out of at the wreckers the vin started with AE92. I ended up just saying yah it's a AE93 because I knew they would have the smallport 4age, just wasnt sure whether the AE93 was a 4agze because I thought some of those ae93's had gze's.

Nah no where near it.

 

I don't know why they did it, only a few of them are like that, there is a post on here from myself and Hiro about the ae92/93.

Here is the thread:

well there is no need to make their job harder.......

 

you just give them the information they want. and just keep giving information that will get you the part you need. yes you own an ae82 corolla from 1987 1.6L DOHC etc etc, unless they ask for a VIN number to prove you have that car (never happend to me, but ive never bought anything from toyota)and if that happends you may need to explain you have a bastardised car...or do what others have done and use someone elses vin number (there is a photo of a half cut JDM ae86 vin plate on ae86dc, if you need to buy something with a VIN number for an 86)

 

and wreckers are the worst, i don't explain what I'm doing with any part i buy at wreckers, i just ask can i buy it, and if so how much. and if they ask any questions i just make some stuff up to keep them quiet. but my local wreckers sorta knows me now as the guy that buys ALOT of random parts of different cars. and don't tend to ansk questions anymore. they prolly think i own about 20 different cars!!

 

oh and just remember that any numpty behind the counter of repco generally only has access to australian delivered cars (unless they dig deaper with phone calls etc). no 4agze's came to AUS so you shouldnt have to worry, and even so the listing will be 1.6L DOHC supercharged for the GZE. so just double check the engine listing.
