Water Pump Replacement Service at Shingle Springs Subaru Service Center in Shingle Springs, CA

January 16, 2019

You might already know that car engines generate a ton of heat. In fact, if the engine isn't properly cooled, a modern car engine can generate so much heat that it can actually destroy itself! That's where the cooling system comes in. Liquid coolant flows throughout the engine, absorbing heat and carrying it away from the engine. It's the water pump that circulates the coolant. If the water pump on your car develops a problem, the engine's cooling system may stop working and the engine could overheat!

If you notice signs of overheating or suspect a problem with a bad water pump on your car, don't delay in bringing your car in to our service center. Overheating engines can quickly develop major damage, including things like blown head gaskets and warped cylinder heads. Getting these problems fixed means massive repair bills! Instead, have your cooling system properly maintained, and stave off these issues with help from the Shingle Springs Subaru service department.

What Are the Signs of a Bad Water Pump?

One way to tell if you have a bad water pump is to check under the vehicle periodically for coolant leaks. A leaky water pump will allow green or orange-colored coolant to drip onto the ground and may leave a visible puddle. Furthermore, the water pump itself could rust and corrode and stop working as well as it should.

However, the surest sign that something is wrong with your water pump is an engine that you can't keep cool. If the temperature needle reaches the red or the temperature warning light comes on in the dashboard, you've got a cooling issue. Pull the vehicle over immediately to prevent further damage. You'll want to have one of our professionals take a close look at the system to look for problems. A failing water pump is not at all uncommon and it's no problem for the talented technicians at Shingle Springs Subaru to fix.
