You'll know if you either

  • See a leak coming from under the car or
  • You find yourself pouring water into your radiator every 2 or so weeks.

I had a 1993 Mazda Protege` with this exact problem and once the pump got replaced it ran just fine. Didn't replace the water much after that.

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.

During timing belt change what else should be changed on 2000 kia sportage?

From what I know about most cars the wisdom is the water pump and the rear seals. But, at least the water pump as it only will cost you about another $90-$110 if you do it with the belts and much more if you have to do it later if you only need to change the water pump. It's all about the labor and tearing it apart. This is the wisdom that I have heard.
