YES...most likely you have a blown head gasket.
A good sign of a water pump going bad is noise. It usually makes a grinding sound. Another sign is antifreeze leakage around the water pump. Some manufacturers put a small hole on the top side of the pump so that when the bearings fail coolant leaks out from this hole. Another good sign is high water temp gauge. When the water pump goes bad it fails to do its job of pumping coolant through the engine, hence the high water temp gauge. Hope this helps.
the only sign is if it goes bad it should trigger the check engine light, you wont notice loss in peformance in engine. all it does is when there is a knock in a cylinder, from bad fuel, it leans back on fuel to stop the knock.
that's a bad sign of engine trouble.
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.
If you allow the engine to overheat severally, yes.
It can allow water to mix with the engine oil and destroy the engine.
If the check engine light is on, there's something wrong with the engine. Or, the computer is bad. One or the other. They don't set a light for no reason.
Usual first sign is a check engine light with a code P0420.Usual first sign is a check engine light with a code P0420.
That is a sign of a bad fuel pump
No. A bad water pump can make a rumble noise and leak coolant which may lead to the engine overheating.
To the best of my knowledge, if the pulley is turning when the engine is running and there are no leaks from the water pump, it should be fine. A2: It shouldn't make a squealling sound , either. It can work passably and still have a bad bearing and/or seal. A bad bearing, though it may not leak, is a sign of imminent failure.
Water in fuel system, bad wires , distributor cap, spark plugs, theres a lot of things that could cause this problem, Is your check engine light on, If so you need to have the engine scaned to see what the code is and then go from there. Hope this helps.
