Have you ever wanted to know

00:00:01.740 --> 00:00:02.760
more about your auto repairs,

00:00:03.260 --> 00:00:04.360
but you were afraid to ask your mechanic?

00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:06.750

00:00:06.810 --> 00:00:08.220
with with information designed to help

00:00:08.380 --> 00:00:10.680
you make the right decisions about your auto repairs.

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:13.290
Your vehicle's water pump is

00:00:13.410 --> 00:00:15.170
one of the most important parts of your car's engine.

00:00:15.850 --> 00:00:18.710
To keep you car running, it is crucial maintain engine temperature.

00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:20.990
It is the job of the water

00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:22.830
pump to continually circulate coolant

00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:24.700
through your vehicles engine, and back

00:00:24.950 --> 00:00:26.470
through the radiator doesn't overheat.

00:00:27.670 --> 00:00:28.890
We recommend that your engine's water

00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:30.190
pump be replaced when the

00:00:30.230 --> 00:00:31.670
timing belt is serviced, or

00:00:32.090 --> 00:00:34.010
immediately when a leak or malfunction is detected.

00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:37.350
Refer to the owner's manual for belt service intervals.

00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:39.810
When a water pump fails, either

00:00:39.980 --> 00:00:41.610
by leaking or the inability

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.410
to circulate coolant, the result is engine overheating.

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:46.900
If ignored, driving a vehicle

00:00:47.150 --> 00:00:48.580
with an overheated engine will result

00:00:48.980 --> 00:00:50.610
in engine failure, requiring very

00:00:50.870 --> 00:00:53.410
costly repairs and even complete engine replacement.

00:00:55.460 --> 00:00:56.800
From a safety standpoint, a water

00:00:57.010 --> 00:00:58.420
pump failure won't likely pose

00:00:58.890 --> 00:00:59.910
a problem for other motorists, but

00:01:00.270 --> 00:01:01.630
could leave you stranded with no warning.

00:01:02.650 --> 00:01:03.860
From an environmental point of

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:05.200
view, there is significant impact

00:01:05.730 --> 00:01:07.100
because leaking engine coolant is

00:01:07.290 --> 00:01:08.420
poisonous and could be ingested

00:01:08.900 --> 00:01:10.450
by children, pets and other animals.
