Water Pump

A water pump is one of the key elements of the engine cooling system. It ensures that your motor remains at an optimum temperature, regardless of the circumstances or driving condition. This auto part pumps out the coolant from the radiator and lets it flow throughout your engine. Get genuine water pumps for your vehicle at MoparOnlineParts today. 

Prevent Engine System Failure with an OEM Water Pump

Driven by the serpentine belt, a water pump uses impeller blades to let the coolant flow into the various components of your engine. The coolant then exits the radiator and flows back into the water pump where the cycle starts over. The part keeps various components like your engine block, cylinder heads, oil coolers, throttle body, and turbocharger (if your vehicle is equipped with one) from overheating. This process ensures that your car runs smoothly and maintains a normal, consistent temperature.

Like most car parts, water pumps are prone to usual wear and tear. Broken fan blades, coolant leaks, grinding noises, corroded bearings, and steam escaping from your radiator are some of the warning signs that the part needs replacement. If left unattended, it can cause your engine to overheat and leave you stranded.

Ask a mechanic to inspect your water pump, coolant, and belt drive system during each service interval. After all, these parts drive your water pump and prevent serious engine problems. Routine maintenance and coolant flushes are also essential to preventing engine system failure. Just make sure you purchase an OEM replacement from an authorized manufacturer to ensure quality and correct fitment.

Frequently Asked Question

How long does a vehicle’s water pump last?

A well-maintained water pump can last from 60,000 to 90,000 miles before needing a replacement. Be sure to fill your vehicle with new coolant, so its water pump runs properly. Otherwise, the pump can malfunction over time and cause you to replace it more frequently.

What does a bad water pump sound like?

A faulty water pump can produce whining or grinding noises during operation. Whining from the pump will change in pitch as you change speeds while you drive. You may also hear grinding noises from your engine area if your car has a defective water pump.

Where is the water pump located in my car?

Most car water pumps are located in front of the engine. This component is driven by a belt that’s also connected to the alternator of your vehicle. The pump also has fan mounts that you can bolt on the back of the clutch assembly.

Will my vehicle’s water pump leak when the engine is off?

Your water pump can leak when the engine is off. This leakage is often caused by condensation from the air conditioning system or exhaust of your ride. Normally, condensation won’t give you any problems. But if the exhaust emits huge clouds of white condensation, coolant may have leaked into your combustion chambers and may result in a blown head gasket.

Can a bad water pump cause rough idle?

A faulty water pump may cause rough idling, but indirectly. If your vehicle leaks coolant, you may experience rough idling while you’re driving. Other problems from a faulty car water pump include constant overheating, rust buildup in the pump, and steam from your radiator.
