That’s one funky, gunky water pump!
All that nasty stuff shouldn’t be in there, and it’s clear our customer needs some new parts.
So, how do you know if your water pump is going bad? The water pump in your vehicle helps to circulate coolant, keeping your engine cool. While there are many reasons your engine might overheat, your engine overheating is one of the biggest signs your car’s thermostat, and possibly the water pump has gone bad.
You might also see coolant leaks, hear a loud whirring, chirping, or squealing noise coming from the engine. Don’t ignore these signs! Significant engine damage can occur if ignored.
