How do you tell if its the water pump or a hose leakin?
The issues are very different. Water pumps fail because they start leaking through the front seal. The plugged or non functioning thermostat fails by causing serious overheating of your engine. If it fails open, you get little heat.Radiators start getting old and you will see that they seem to be ok in cool weather but on warmer days you find the car runs warm. Removing the thermostat does not resolve this issue.The main purpose of a thermostat is to get quicker heat in your car. Most cars will run with on thermostat installed. If your car still is getting warm, it is a good chance your radiator is plugged.Water pumps almost never fail in any mode other then leaking. If you take the thermostat out and start your car, you should see coolant movement. If you do, the pump is fine.
