What is Water Pump Replacement?

Replaces the water pump that circulates coolant through the engine. Often done together with the timing belt to save labour.

Warning Signs

  • Engine overheating
  • Coolant leak near front of engine
  • Whining noise from engine
  • Steam from under hood

Recommended Service Interval

Every 160,000 km or when timing belt is replaced
