yes and no.
depends on what you mean by "bad"
the bearings can go out in it but it will still move water keeping engine cool but making a heck of a racket.
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.
A bad thermostat, or in rare cases, a bad water pump.
You will see coolant leaking around the water pump, your car will overheat.
your car will overheat, there will be low pressure on your system.
usually when a water pump goes bad your bearing in the pulley on it will start sqealing or your car starts to overheat quite frequently
no but if you try to run the car with the water pump out you could overheat your engine
The car may overheat!
yes. but there are several other things that can cause it to overheat. not enough coolant, bad belt, radiator blocked, bad thermostat,bad water pump to name a few.
No, not an alternator itself. A slipping belt driving the alternator and the water pump could though.
No low oil will not cause your car to overheat. But there is a couple other things that can cause your car to over heat, like a bad thermostate that's located in the block of the engine or can be the water pump not cycling the water into the engine. Hope this helps
If the water pump is bad, it will leak and your car will overheat. If the Power steering pump is broken the steering will be very hard and if the timing belt malfunctions, your car will stop running.
It willl overheat when it gets low on coolant.
