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....
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
@@simri7474 Duralast CWP 9240. HMU if you need help too. The various videos are great, but it doesn't go into detail enough regarding the shroud removal and other things I discovered that the video does not cover.
I have 1 tht won't overheat with defrost on but using coolant. Does tht sound like a waterpump to you? I thnk so but worried I maybe wrong but dnt thnk so
@@kentuckyking4343 if you are blowing cold air and the water temp normal normal with the thermostats opened, you might havr check to see if you have coolant. If you do, you might have a heater core issue...
It's hard brought it to many shops only way I got it figured out was utube caught it just in time most engines are made of aluminum over heating can Cause the metal to warp leading to head gaskets problems so fix this right away preventive maintenance in the long run will save you thousands
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 😂
@@shamarturner2920 haha yes. It was like 1997 when it happened. It caught me and my copilot's attention. Dad had to western union some money after a collect call. Oh..the good old days. It was incredible that it made that noise for a year. That Honda was incredible. So much so I got a crv right now.
@@starkeymorgan4142 lol glad you made it that freeway ride going 80 could have been rough! man mine just started the squealing a few days ago and I was scared shitless
@@shamarturner2920 Do try to address it soon It's just not worth it and as I found out...can be dangerous. Also, could warp head if it gets too hot. I was just really lucky. I'm at 112,000 on my crv. My current plan is to drive it until it shows symptoms. Good luck
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...
You also save me some money The mechanic had me thinking it could have been the water pump but it was the pulley making the noise the whole time, thank the 👑Lord 🙏🏾first and thank you👍🏾
YOU JUST SAVED ME TON OF MONEY AND un important work , THANK YOU 😭😭😍😍 now i know its the water pump and all the signes you have talked about it im facing it in 2005 GMC ENVOY 4200 Vortec engine
This is one major issue that sometimes is not diagnosed immediately always seek professionals i took my car to a mechanic he said it was the fan belt but in reality it was a bad water pump
I changed mine today did you notice a power increase in your car because before I replaced mine I started driving it and immediately felt a power increase faster accelerating I was surprised on how it may have affected the power output on my car
My Mazda oem factory one didn’t work even last 40k miles. The bearing was bad causing the pulley to rattle violently. I had it changed by Mazda. They were surprised I knew it was that because they looked like they wanted to say other stuff to make money off me.
O heard the noise before i left home a clicking during idle went 10 miles away now I'm stranded, i did timing belt and the kit came with the water pump so i took out the aiso pump and replaced it w the 78 dollar one one year later we're here smfh should kept the oem still going strong when i first got the car at 160k miles (04 Lexus gs s300)
My heater blows cold air. Made sure it had enough coolant. Installed a new thermostat, wasn't the problem. Did a complete back flush on the heater coil, didn't fix it. It's got a new thermostat and the coolant flow is OK and it's full of coolant. It's not over heating, race the engine rpms and will get some warm air. Let the motor die down to an idle and it throws cold air again. Would a weak water pump cause that?
my impala does the same thing. heater works fine while driving but stop at light or stop sign and it goes cold. but im having an issue with my water pump pulley or the bearing of the water pump. i took the belt off and there was alot of wiggle to the pulley i tightened the four 10 mm bolts and it still has play making a noise when started. im just gunna get a new water pump pay day cuz the pulley is good the tensioner and every other pulley is fine and tight with no play.
@@brysonowensby4477 no ive tightened the bolts on the pulley. as much as possible with a ratchet without rounding the nuts, the pulley itself is still wobbly idky. it runs fine no issues, just now here in Dallas we're getting over a winter storm and now the belt is squealing. im kinda not wanting to put anymore money into this car cuz it seems like alot at once just piling up when its not actually im just lazy in the winter and dont feel like working on my car in 20 degree weather, im expecting one from carvana in two weeks but then again i still wanna fix my impala cuz I've had it over 10 years and have had tons of problems minor and major and i know its a good car overall.
@@manalone1330 gotcha. I’m in Dallas too so In the same situation. I think it is most likely the water pump bearings. Going to have to replace the water pump tonight in the freezing cold because I need to get to work tomorrow. My pulley had so much play my belt slipped off and got tore up
I have a chevy 350 in a boat closed cooling with antifreeze. no leaks or noises. All ther parts checked in the boat. Is there any way the metal impeller went bad? running 160 but then 180 at 3100 rpm.
My engine was never overheating but the rad blew one day. Took it in to get replaced and the car was still overheating instantly . Had to leave it at the shop where they removed the radiator again checked everything and the water pump propellor was broken off the shaft in 3 peices. Never showed a sign of any leaks or any problems driving until my radiator blew. Is that normal
Literally the issue I’m having with my Honda. Changed out the rad, therm, upper and lower hoses and car only overheats when driving but not idle. I’m really thinking it’s my water pump now
I keeo getting a leak in my jeep lower radiator hose i switch it out put new hose i put new hose clamps stopped leaking for 2 weeks started leaking again radiator was replaced. Idk what else to change out anyone have any ideas? Thank u
I was told that a bad water pump could cause the engine to wanna jump out of the locks it sits on, is this true? Also would anyone know why when I accelerate it makes this weird hooooooooonk noise like a goose ? 307ci olds btw
audi replaced my cambelt and waterpump few weeks ago but this week my coolant was near empty.. it seems a coincidence this has happened , do they have to do anything to the coolant to replace the water pump?
I did purchased Water Pump for Mercedes S320 car year 1999-2000 K seal works but can i drive home 120 miles or better take side roads. K_seal was used for water pump 6 weeks ago and I did only made 2-3 miles trips No problems. Tomorrow have to drive home on 8/9/23
ricardo galindo. No necesariamente. I bought a brand new OEM for my Elantra 2008 and after 50K miles is making the noise. I've been waiting and waiting but I think I will replace it.
I was starting to think it was bad pulleys in my car but then I started to think wait a minute I'm getting a lot of coolant leakage and smoke them out of the engine with the loud grinding noise Thurgood think I think it's my water pump going out
it is, same thing happen to me, car never overheated my sensor went off and the water pump blew had to pull over because my car cut off the power. look at hood coolant everywhere and my car started steamin
Making my fan and clutch wobble back and fourth. 🤦🏼♂️ Should have changed it when I put my radiator in. 🤦🏼♂️ It’s 05 four runner but appears easy to do.
@@usmandurrani6467 You can't expect people to tell you what the cause is just from a vague description. Even with a detailed description, the best you can hope for is possibilities. There are so many things it could be. If it sounds like a metal pan vibrating against another piece of metal, and it's worse at high revs and kind of intermittent, it might be an exhaust heat shield. Water pump, alternator, idler pulley, power steering pump or any other bearing on the engine could produce a sound that comes and goes or worsens with higher RPM. Even low oil can make your engine run noisy. An exhaust leak can make more noise under heavier loads. If the sound is only under acceleration, it could be a bushing in the suspension or drivetrain, or a motor mount, or a problem in the transmission. clunking sounds can be ball joints, drive shafts (not usually fwd), loose battery or spare tire/junk in the trunk, suspension bushings, or strut mounts. Low quality or worn out brake components can make noises too... If you don't have any diagnostic skills, you're not very likely to be able to figure this problem out, and you're probably better off to take it to a shop and let them do it; throwing parts at problems usually ends up costing more.
Hye, my radiator is keep on discharging coolant into spare tank. Even many parts has changed (new radiator, new thermostat, new radiator hose, new radiator cap) but the radiator still discharging coolant into spare tank. One of my mechanic suggest me to change the water pump. May i get your advice?
I would probably turn to the water pump at that point, as that is the only other part you havent replaced that could cause the problem. Props to your mechanic for being honest

I have a Hummer that makes a metallic clicking flapping sound when you start the truck and it doesn't go away. I'm trying to determine what my issue is. It was running fine until the transmission fluid got hot and overheated. Now I have that flapping sound coming from the front part of the engine. If you have any ideas or suggestions please share.👍😎👌
@@arunkumar-xc3ms Thanks for info I'm glad somebody responded. Through further investigation since I made this post I went back and turn the H2 on and the sound was back then I just happened to turn off the heat and the noise mysteriously disappeared. Now I don't know the reasons why it disappeared but if you know feel free to share bud.👍😎👌
I add coolant and it comes right out the bottom of the engine, like it all comes out instantly after I turn the car on, water pump is shaking could it be that?
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.
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.
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.
