What is a water pump and what does it do?
Your car’s water pump is a very important part of your engine. It pumps the coolant through the engine and radiator to keep it running at the right temperature.
Some water pumps can replaced in an hour although some can be alot more time intensive. This will depend on the design and configuration of your car’s engine especially if the water pump is run by, or restricted by, the engine timing belt. What this means is that in order to replace the water pump, the timing belt will also require removal.
One of the major causes for premature water pump failure is contamination in the cooling system. Unfortunately it is common practice for people to purchase the cheapest coolant they can find. Just like the saying “oils ain’t oils,” well “coolants ain’t coolants.” There are different types for different vehicles. The most common ones will either be green, red or blue.
When replacing a water pump, the cooling system should be flushed, cleaned and refilled with fresh coolant.
Many parts warranties will not cover your car if the cooling system is not flushed.
