Part: Pump
Operation: What is the purpose of the water pump and what are the symptoms that it may be broken?

The water pump maintains the correct operating temperature and regulates the heat exchange between the interior and exterior through the radiator. Malfunctioning can lead to premature wear of mechanical parts, risk of seizing, as well as burning of the head gasket. In fact, the coolant is present inside the pump, which is responsible for lowering the freezing point and raising the boiling point. This way, excess heat will be captured and corrosion will be avoided. Symptoms of malfunctioning definitely include frequent engine temperature rise, presence of coolant outside the pump or on the ground, as well as high-pitched and squeaky sounds coming from the engine compartment. Total replacement of the part can be a very expensive operation, so it is important not to underestimate the warning signs that our car gives us. But if you really have to replace it, remember to also change the thermostat together. It only costs a few tens of euros, but then you won't have to think about it anymore.
