Because water pumps move such a vast amount of coolant over the life of the unit, the bearings wear out over time. . Counterman Magazine: www.counterman.com The Network: www.networkhq.org/
Got my water pump changed out by the dealership. It lasted just over 2 years. The dealership wouldn't honor the warranty as it expired 4 months after. I bought one with a lifetime warranty and installed it myself. You'll need a spanner wrench as well as another wrench. But I saved 1000 bucks. Totally cost $180

My water pump is squealing a little bit when I let it idle on my 1999 mercury cougar V6. Im thinking on replacing just the pulley but obviously it would be even better to replace the water pump itself brand new. Thanks for the video...
For me..the symptom was a squealing noise at startup..usually first thing in the morning. Did this for around a year before it failed at 80 mph on I55 near Hayti .Missouri. It was coolant leaking onto the belt and squealing. That 86 accord gave me a years worth of warning and I ignored it. Don't be like me 😂

WHAT CAUSES THE SEAL IN A WATER PUMP TO FAIL IS A BAD BEARING WHERE THE SHAFT WOBBLES AND EXPANDS AND WEARS OUT THE SEAL.. THAT'S WHY YOUR SEAL GOES BAD USUALLY ON ANY PIECE OF MACHINERY. IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN IT HAS TO BE A WATER PUMP.
I took a good look at my engine this morning I was wondering where the noise is coming from and you have one of the pullies was like wobbling making a grinding noise think it's the water pump one
@@juggalogamer8541 ON MY E-250 VAN I HAD A NOISE, THINKING IT WAS THE WATER PUMP BUT THE PUMP WAS NOT LEAKING. SO I TOOK SOME WD-40 AND SPRAYED BEHIND THE ALTERNATOR PULLEY (FRONT OF BEARING) AND BEHIND THE HOUSING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BEARING AND THE NOISE IS GONE. THE FRONT BEARING IS WORN.
My car overheats at idle but if I raise the rpms a bit the temperature will drop back down.. I have a new thermostat and cap.. Does the problem sound like the water pump?
Ok, I have a 94 Honda Civic. Car would run fine no problem at all. But if would overheat when I would be at a light or stop sign. As soon as I started to give it gas it would go back to normal. Changed my thermostat, radiator, radiator cap, and temperature sensor. It fixed all my problems for about a month. And then boom my car overheated again and my car now shakes crazy when turned on and has a lot of smoke coming out and it smells like straight gasoline. So a mechanic friend of mine took a look at it and said it’s either a blown head gasket or something internal in the engine. So hopefully yours is just the temperature sensor, should be near the thermostat. If not could be a problem with the head gasket? Don’t know as I’m not a mechanic. One tip tho, when your car is cold get a water bottle and dump half of the water out. Make sure the bottle is clear. Get the small hose that is from ur extra antifreeze compartment and stick it into the water bottle. Now u want to turn on the car and keep the water bottle on top of the radiator making the bottle the highest point of where the antifreeze would go. If you see the hose making bubbles could mean a bad head gasket. I think there’s also a kit to check ur head gasket. It’s like a pumping container you put on top of ur antifreeze cap, and you fill it with blue liquid. You then pump the container and if the blue liquid turns blue , boom blown head gasket. This kit was mentioned in CHRISFIX head gasket sealant video.
Depending on the model. Most have tensioners that provide that. The Tensioner makes it a can of corn to replace the serpentine belt. All you need is a 1/2 breaker bar. Can of corn. It floors me how much they charge to replace it. Takes like 5 minutes. 4 of it will be spent drinking your beer.
