What are the Common Signs of Failing Water Pump

WHAT ARE THE COMMON SIGNS OF A FAILING WATER PUMP?

Engine needs a consistent flow of coolant supplied from the radiator.

Water pump is responsible for maintaining the coolant flow.

When the water pump of the car runs properly, then it will provide:  Consistent operating temperature  Run smoothly  Make the drive safer

When the water pump fails, it can lead to complete engine failure.

Here are the common signs of a failed water pump in your car.

COOLANT LEAK

Water pump is comprised of multiple gaskets and seals to keep:  Coolant contained  Consistent flow of coolant

When the gaskets and seals will wear out, dry up or crack, then:

COOLANT LEAK FROM THE WATER PUMP

DROP TO THE GROUND

CORROSION OF WATER PUMP

Leakage will cause different minerals to build up around the pump.

Regular leakage of the water pump will cause several issues in the car:

SLOW DOWN THE ENGINE COOLING

CONTAMINATED PUMP SURFACE

NON-COMPATIBLE COOLANT MIXTURE

SMALL HOLE IN THE METAL FROM CORROSION

CAVITIES ON THE MOUNTING SURFACE

VAPOR BUBBLES IN THE COOLANT LIQUID

WATER PUMP MAKING NOISE

Loose belt will create a harmonic buzzing or whining sound in the car.

Loose belt is commonly caused by a loose pulley or wears a water pump.

OVERHEATED ENGINE

If the water pump fails, it unable to circulate coolant through the engine.

As a result, it will lead to engine overheating and may lead to:  Additional engine damage  Cracked cylinder head  Pushed head gaskets  Burnt pistons

STEAM FROM RADIATOR

Steam coming from the front motor is a sign of an overheated engine.

When the water pump works correctly, the engine maintains its temperature.

CONCLUSION

When you notice any of these signs, contact your local certified mechanic.

Repair or replace the water pump to get back the car onto the road.
