Re: Time for a new water pump?

good news is that water pumps are pretty cheap if i remember correctly from when i did mine. shop around and get a good deal.

also, you might consider using new hoses and sealing them properly.

if the waterpump is bad, you should see coolant coming out of the weep-holes on the top and bottom of the water pump.

you can also check it by removing the fan and belts and spinning it with the engine off.
it should spin without resistance, but not freely.
basically it should stop spinning about a half a turn or so after you stop spinning it
