Ticking noise from water pump

My 2zzge engine has just started making a distinct ticking noise that increases with revs coming from timing chain side of the engine. 

Took it into Toyota and he said it the noise might be coming from the water pump(no record of being replaced, traveled 215k).

Just wondering if anyone else has a problem similar.

He quoted $1200 to check the timing chain stuff, unsure on the cost of water pump replacement though. 

Cheers Tane

Hi tane

do you here the sound when idling at all. You can try removing the serpentine belt and running the engine. If the sound is here that indicates it's not the accessories causing it

Release the tension on the serpentine belt from the belt tensioner. There are 2 nuts on it you are after the fake but which is cast into the part. Use 19mm socket on that and pull to the front of the car. A long extension bar helps a lot. This action compresses the belt tensioner so at the same time you can skip the belt off one of the pulleys. Then slowly let go for the belt tensioner to return position. Then all it takes it taking off the belt remove it from the engine. 

 

When end you start the engine do not do it for a long time without the belt on. Under a minute. If you think the sound occurs only when your car is warmed up, warm it up before you take off the belt but it may be harder when the engine is hot be care not burn your hands.

with the belt off and running the car if there is sound still then it's the timing chain

This diagram should help.youll need to install the belt back on. Not that hard but takes patience as the space is limited for your hands even using a coat hanger can be tricky. Once the belt is back on you should release the air from the tensioner. To do you pull that 19mm all the way forward then very slowly let it go back repeat that for 5 times

Update:

Just took the belt off and the noise is still there....

Surprising easy to take off,  and only a few minutes longer to put back on. But that involve getting under the car and also using the coat hanger.

      Fuel filter change - start stops running

      Check your fuel lines to the filter. The factory clamps are designed for quick removal but sometime come lose enough to allow air. I replaced all mine with 'worm drive' clamps.

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Fuel filter change - start stops running

      We recently completed a service a few weeks ago. Following this, a warning light indicated water in the filter. We replaced the filter, but subsequently encountered starting issues. After replacing the battery, the car eventually started. However, after running for about five minutes, it stalled as if it had run out of diesel. We have primed the filter, engine starts but then car stops again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
