The water pump is responsible for circulating coolant through the engine to keep it cool. If the water pump is not working properly, the engine can overheat and cause a variety of problems, including:
- Reduced engine power
- Increased fuel consumption
- Rough idling
- Engine knocking
- Engine failure
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to have your car checked by a mechanic as soon as possible. A bad water pump can cause serious damage to your engine if it is not repaired.
In addition to causing the check engine light to come on, a bad water pump can also cause other problems, such as:
- Leaking coolant
- Overheating
- Engine damage
If you suspect that your water pump is bad, it is important to have it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible.
