Sometimes they'll emit a high pitched noise before they go bad. Is your engine running hot? Could be a bad thermostat.

How do you tell if the water pump is going out on a 2000 Ford Taurus?

You can tell by if there is a leak around the pumps impeller or the gasket. If there is a leak, then the water pump would need to be changed. Secondly if there is no pressure in the cooling system, vehicle is overheating. Chances are the impeller inside the pump is melted, the water pump would need to be changed. Last, if the bearing are worn out on the water pump which would cause unusual noise would be an indication for the pump to be changed.

How do you tell if your water pump is going out in your 1996 Honda Accord?

If the pump is leaking or making any noise it needs replacing. It is common practice to replace the water pump when the cam belt is replaced every 90,000 miles. Reason being is that the water pump is driven by the cam belt and the pump will normally not last 180,000 miles until the next belt replacement. This saves you labor costs.


How do you tell if the water pump is going out on a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis?

Typical symptoms could include pump noise, pump leaking coolant through it's weep hole, or engine overheating. Generally when you replace the timing belt, you'll want to replace the water pump while you're around the area. This is certainly not a rule, but in my experience 100k miles is a good lifespan for a water pump.
