The water pump in your vehicle keeps all that coolant flowing freely. If it begins to fail, overheating problems are inevitable. Don't take a chance on doing damage to engine internals by not replacing your water pump. If your pump stops working, coolant temperatures rise rapidly and can overheat the engine, leading to head gasket or even piston ring failure.

Coolant loss when doing the water pump replacement is inevitable, so be sure to pick up some factory approved coolant and have it shipped to your door.

Make sure you also replace the water pump drive belt when doing this replacement. (ES281439).
