Where is the car water pump located?
1 Answers
The car water pump is located inside the engine block. The function of the car water pump is to pressurize the coolant, ensuring its circulation within the cooling system. It continuously circulates water through the radiator and various components of the engine block to dissipate heat, preventing the engine from overheating. Symptoms of a damaged water pump: 1. A damaged water pump can weaken or even stop the cooling circulation, leading to coolant boiling; 2. Unusual noises from the water pump while the engine is running; 3. Coolant leakage near the water pump area of the engine, with traces of coolant color left on the water pump vent holes, resulting in symptoms like high water temperature due to insufficient coolant. Car engines widely use centrifugal water pumps, whose basic structure consists of components such as the water pump housing, connecting plate or pulley, water pump shaft and bearings or integrated shaft bearings, water pump impeller, and water seal device, making it a major component of the vehicle.
