Water Pump - Inspect

Usage:

C3.3 E3K
A failed water pump may cause severe engine overheating problems that could result in the following conditions:

  • Cracks in the cylinder head

  • A piston seizure

  • Other potential damage to the engine

Note: The water pump seal is lubricated by the coolant in the cooling system. It is normal for a small amount of leakage to occur as the engine cools down and parts contract.

Visually inspect the water pump for leaks. Renew the water pump seal or the water pump if there is an excessive leakage of coolant. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Water Pump - Remove" for the disassembly procedure and then refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Water Pump - Install" for the assembly procedure.
