Water Pumps

Your vehicle's engine has to have a constant flow of coolant sent to it from the radiator to help keep it running efficiently. There are many important parts that make up the cooling system in your vehicle, and the water pump is one of them. It helps maintain the flow of coolant from your radiator to your engine. It maintains a consistent operating temperature for your engine. Your engine's drive belt is what operates the water pump and helps it to turn. Your water pump has blades that help to send coolant through as needed. While the water pump is designed to last a while, it can wear out over time. You might notice some signs that your water pump is in need of replacement. Coolant leaks that are located near the front center of your car can point you to the direction of a hole or crack in the pump. Your water pump has seals and gaskets that can dry up as time passes and cause these leaks. High pitched sounds coming from the front of your engine can be caused by a loose drive belt. Ensure that you get an OEM water pump when it's time to replace yours.
