How to Replace A Water Pump - Avoiding Common Mistakes

Watch this Car Water Pump Installation guide that will show you how to install a car water pump properly and avoid the most common mistakes. Signs of water pump failure include a noisy bearing, coolant leaking from the mating surface, weep hole, or gasket, or a broken impeller. Replacing the water pump as a maintenance item before failure is recommended because when the water pump does give out, the engine may over heat, causing serious engine damage. Replacing the water pump is fairly straightforward, and we want to avoid failure during water pump replacement or installation. #CarWaterPump #Gates #Mechanics ▬ Water pump failure ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ The majority of car water pump failures are caused by factors other than a bad-quality water pump. Around 80% of all claims related to water pumps are the result of not following the right installation procedure. More than 50% of these claims are related to coolants in general: mixing different types of coolants, not flushing the system correctly, and using tap water instead of distilled/deionized water. 30% of the claims are the result of improper use of sealant on water pumps, which were already supplied with rubber seal or paper/metal gasket. Most of these claims are due to incorrect installation and could have been avoided. ▬ Prevent Water Pump Failure by Flushing The Cooling System ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Proper flushing is one of the most critical elements of cooling system maintenance. Yet it is often the most neglected service in the workshop today. Inadequate flushing can lead to premature water pump failure, resulting in warranty problems and frustrated customers. Read on to discover how flushing the cooling system positively affects the performance of the cooling system. ▬ Topics of the video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 Introduction 00:17 Follow car water pump installation instructions to avoid engine damage 00:55 Different types of water pumps 01:06 Resist the natural reflex to turn the pump to avoid friction 01:45 How to avoid damage from dry rotation of the water pump 02:13 Flushing the cooling system before installing car water pump 03:15 Types of sealing supplied with the water pump 03:50 Check condition of the seal or gasket 04:15 Fill the coolant system with recommended coolant. #WaterPump #WaterPumpInstallation #DYIMechanic #GatesParts #Automotive #CoolingSystem #CarWaterPump #GatesTools #Waterpumpleakage #CarRepair #AutomotiveParts #WaterPumpFailure #Automotive ▬ About Gates Europe ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Gates Corporation is a leading manufacturer of application-specific fluid power and power transmission solutions.
