Water Pump
Your Mechanic On Call, our team of mobile mechanics, specializes in performing comprehensive repairs on car water pumps.
The Importance of a Functional Water Pump in Your Vehicle
A faulty water pump can lead to catastrophic engine failure, resulting in costly repairs. The water pump plays a crucial role in circulating coolant from the radiator to the engine, regulating its temperature. If you notice any signs of water pump failure, it is essential to address the issue promptly to prevent further damage.
Common Indicators of a Failing Water Pump
1. *Coolant leakage*: If you notice green, orange or red fluid leaking from the weep hole, it may indicate worn-out gaskets or seals.
2. *Noisy water pump*: A high-pitched whining noise or grinding sound can signal a loose pulley or worn-out bearing.
3. *Engine overheating*: Inadequate coolant circulation can cause the engine to overheat, leading to damage.
4. *Smoke or steam from the engine*: Coolant leaks or overheating can cause smoke or steam to emanate from the engine.
5. *Buildup around the water pump*: Mineral deposits or rust can accumulate around the pump due to coolant leaks.
