Description
Your water pump is what moves your engine coolant so it can cool properly. If it begins to fail, overheating problems will occur. Leaks also plague these components. Make sure you replace your water pump before engine damage becomes a reality.
This has been a common problem among many European vehicle applications. Water pump failure leads to your vehicle making an unnecessary trip to the repair shop. If your pump stops working, coolant temperatures rise rapidly and can overheat the engine, leading to head gasket or even piston ring failure. A great preventative maintenance item when doing any type of timing belt replacement.
Some water pumps don't come with thermostats. If yours does not, be sure to browse ECS's website to choose a stock or low temperature thermostat. Also, coolant loss when doing the water pump replacement is inevitable, so be sure to get some factory approved coolant shipped to your door.
