Is it dangerous to keep driving with a failing water pump?

Yes, this is one of the most serious cooling system failures — a failed pump can cause rapid overheating and severe engine damage within minutes, so don’t continue driving if you suspect this.

What causes water pump failure?

Most commonly a worn bearing (causing the whining/grinding noise) or a failed seal (causing a coolant leak), both from age and normal wear over a long service life.

What is the pump made of?

A cast aluminium or plastic composite housing with a metal impeller.

Installation information

Often replaced together with the timing belt if driven by it — always fit a new gasket and refill/bleed the cooling system properly.

Frequently asked questions

On many engines the pump is driven by the timing belt, and both share similar labour access — replacing them together avoids paying for the same labour twice within a short interval, since both wear at a similar rate.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
