Information

What does the water pump do?

Typically located in front of the engine, a water pump works to keep the engine temperature properly regulated, by circulating water through the engine and the radiator.

How can I tell if the water pump needs to be replaced?

A failing water pump will result in overheating of the engine, which can eventually cause damage to the engine In some cases there may be a noticeable noise from the engine. In other cases there may only a small leak. If there are water stain marks around the bleed hold on the pump housing, there is a leak.

What are my options?

The vehicle can be taken to a local dealer or repair shop. If an owner is skilled and has adequate tools and equipment, they may be able to diagnose the problem. There are automotive websites that advertise repair services and/or sell replacement parts. Other vendors sell repair manuals and parts online.
