You should see the coolant circulating in the radiator when the car is running
get out of your car find it turn on your car and get out feel the pump if it vibrates it is working if not get a new one
You will see coolant leaking around the water pump, your car will overheat.
Plz rephrase the question with the type of car in the statement. this can change everything.
what if my top radiator hose is very hot and the bottom hose is cold,would that be a bad water pump?
yes it will start but you dont want to start it.
Well, if the car does not run or even start then it's fuel pump. If the engine gets real hot when running then it's the water pump.
In a car the water pump circulates coolant through the engine and to the radiator.
Your car will most likely overheat because the water will not circulate properly
no but if you try to run the car with the water pump out you could overheat your engine
the water pump of a car is called 'la pompe à eau' in French.
Water pump location on a Chevrolet Celebrity varies both by the year and engine. I need to know the year and engine in your car to answer your question.
You can not, and should not drive a car that has a bad water pump. The water pump pumps coolant through the engine. You engine will overheat and die without a functioning water pump.
