Symptoms of a Faulty Engine Water Pump?

[Sharon]

There are several main symptoms when a car's water pump fails: 1. The engine's water temperature rises and does not decrease; 2. Water leakage near the water pump area of the engine; 3. Unusual noises from the water pump area after starting the engine. Below is some relevant information about water pumps: 1. Centrifugal water pumps are widely used in car engines. Their basic structure consists of the water pump housing, connecting plate or pulley, water pump shaft and bearings or integrated shaft bearings, water pump impeller, and water seal device, among other components, making it a major part of the automobile. 2. Typically, the water pump is driven by the engine's crankshaft via a V-belt. The drive belt runs between the crankshaft pulley and the water pump pulley, causing the water pump shaft to rotate as the crankshaft turns, which in turn drives the impeller to rotate, thereby converting mechanical energy into hydraulic energy.
