Water Pump is a crucial part of the car because it helps in keeping the engine cool. Generally, you will find it under the timing belt cover. If it malfunctions, the whole engine may break down or get seriously affected. Some of the signs of its breaking down are:

• Coolant leaking from the front of the car
• Rusting and deposits-building in the water pump
• Steam emitted from the radiators
• Overheated engines

The average lifespan of a water pump is about 90,000 to 120,000 kilometers. After this, it is advisable to get it replaced instead of trying to repair it.
