How often should the coolant be replaced on a Toyota XLE?
I thought the Generic 1 water pump was belt driven, but the Generic 2 (2012 – 2013) pumps are electric. So, we’ll see in a few years if these are more reliable (and how their cost compares to the conventional design). My XLE TCH maintenance booklet shows to change the engine/inverter coolant at 100,000 miles or 120 months.

What happens when you change the coolant in a car?
The coolant can become more acidic over time and lose its rust-inhibiting properties, causing corrosion. Corrosion can damage the radiator, water pump, thermostat, radiator cap, hoses and other parts of the cooling system, as well as to the vehicle heater system. And that can cause a car engine to overheat.

Old coolant, especially GM’s “Dexcool,” needs to be changed every 100K miles. Some mechanics claim that Dexcool needs to be changed more often to reduce the chances of gasket failure. Here’s how to flush and replace your coolant.
How long does it take to replace water pump in Ford F150?
The new water pump comes with the three bolt pulley. Last edited by diegoo.jayjay; 05-11-2017 at 11:12 AM. Install the thermostat before replacing the housing on the water pump. It took me about 10 minutes to install the housing on the water pump. The long black pipe is a PITA to line up but doable.

How often should I change the coolant in my Ford Fiesta?
Note:Ford state that, if their purple Super Plus antifreeze is in the system from new, the coolant need only be changed every 10 years. If there is any doubt as to the type or quality of the antifreeze which has been used, we recommend this shorter interval be observed.
