@kokopellifilmz Yup, coolant pump change is coming up in a month. I have more free time to finally change it out.

@usbseawolf2000 Toyota has recall on them. You can have them put a new one for free

@gwalia4 The recall was a free replacement of the pump. I did get the notice and got mine changed for free. When they replace the pump, I assume they also replaced the coolant.

how did you get the inverter pump to run while the bubbles came out?

GREAT VIDEO!

@xxxxdarksidexxxx I turned on the Prius to IGN mode (power button twice without brake) to run the inverter coolant pump.

@Juniorinyomouf I took my car for recall at my toyota dealer. They did the recall and told me i need a water pump for engine($450), water pump belt($170), Automatic fluid change($200), Ac filter(59.99) & Tire rotation($50). So i ordered a waterpump (45), belt(10), ac filter($8), mobil 1 oil, etc. Took my car to my local mechanic. Water pump & belt 100%. He did oil change, filters, rotation (40 labor) and i have driven 5k miles with no leaks. NO drop in coolant level. forget stealership.

Dont listen to this guy, there is actuall 3 petcock valves to drain as well as the trans plug, just get it done by a certified tech so you dont ruin your car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You need a scan tool to do this you can ruin the aux pump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
