Signs of Failure

• Coolant loss – visible drips or puddles under the front of the engine 

• Engine overheating – temperature gauge rising above normal 

• Coolant leak from pump weep hole – seal failure allowing coolant past the bearing 

• Whining or grinding noise – from the front of the engine, indicating bearing wear 

• Loose or noisy water pump pulley – play in the pulley or rough rotation

Critical – Verify Your VIN Before Ordering

Water pumps are VIN- and engine-specific. Provide your VIN – our team confirms exact compatibility before dispatch. We cannot accept returns for misordered parts without VIN verification .

💡 Installation Tip: Professional installation recommended. When replacing the water pump, it is recommended to replace the cooling system components at the same time — including the thermostat, coolant hoses, and the oil cooler pipe connector (LR028136), which is a common failure item when servicing the cooling system . Refill with OEM-specified coolant at the correct mixture ratio and bleed the cooling system thoroughly.
