Water Pump Info

The car's water pump is used to make sure that enough water is passed through the engine via the cylinder head and back to the radiator. This creates a circular flow. The water is cooled in the radiator as the car moves and this helps to prevent the car from overheating. The water pump plays a vital role in the cooling process of the car. It is important to check this regularly as part of the standard maintenance of the vehicle to prevent problems in the future.

The majority of engines are cooled using liquids. This is often a mix of water and a coolant such as antifreeze. The system needs to make sure that the whole of the engine is kept cool as it will cease to work if just one part has overheated. The main coolant system works to keep the fixed parts of the engine cool while the moving parts use the lubrication oil to act as a coolant.
