Water Pump Repair And Replacement
Your water pump is a crucial part of your car so that it can keep going despite the enormous amount of heat generated by your engine.
If not kept cool by the water pump, your engine - and car - will break down.
What is a water pump?
Your water pump is what keeps your car engine from overheating by continuously circulating coolant from your radiator to the engine. .
Modern water pumps are built much stronger than older models, but they still can - and do - break down. A defective water pump with worn out bearings is no longer as efficient as a new water pump. Your coolant will start leaking, and your car will overheat.

When to replace the water pump?
If you're a careful driver and properly maintain your car, you probably won't have to get a car water pump replacement. An average water pump lasts for 160,000 to 210,000 thousand kilometres. In some cases, they are replaced as a precaution when changing the timing belt or as when your car is constantly overheating for no other reason.
If your vehicle has been running hot or giving off other warning signs that it might fail soon, don't hesitate and get your water pump repaired or replaced immediately.

Three common signs of a defective water pump
1. Fluid leak
A coolant leak is the first sign of a bad water pump. One of your water pump seals may have an issue that needs to be addressed immediately.
2. Overheating engine
If your engine's temperature keeps rising above normal levels, yet your radiator hoses are not cracked, and your coolant levels are topped up, have your water pump checked as soon as possible.
3. Rust build-up
Rust in and around your water pump is proof of a minor leak. Your pump's ability to move coolant through the engine may deteriorate over time, eventually leading to complete failure.
