How does a car's water pump work?

As a car's engine operates, it generates high temperatures within the motor. This heat must be handled appropriately, and the motor kept cooled at a proper operating temperature range, or the vehicle will suffer potentially catastrophic failure…you'll blow it up. Generally, a vehicle's water pump, driven by the motor via the timing belt (or serpentine belt in some models), circulates the coolant/antifreeze around the "water jacket"of the motor, and back through the radiator thus cooling it. It also facilitates circulating coolant/antifreeze through the heater core of the car so you can stay warm in the winter.

Since its operation is controlled by engine activity, the water flow-rate of this pump is regulated by engine's RPM. A thermostat is also in the loop. It essentially helps in regulating the flow of the coolant, based on the engine's temperature. As the engine RPM and temperature increases, so does the rate of water flow. That helps in maintaining a proper engine temperature. The timing belt runs the water pump and maintaining both is critical to a vehicle's operation and longevity.

Signs the Timing Belt and Water Pump Need Replacing

• Rough engine noise when idling
• Heavy vibration when idling
• Misfiring of the engine
• Excess smoke from the exhaust
• Drop in oil pressure, visible by an engine warning light or increase in temperature

Installion

Step 1: Preparation
First, prepare your car and work area. Changing a timing belt and water pump can take anywhere from 1-3 hours depending on your skill level, so make sure you have the time and space to complete the job. Do the following before you start:

Jack up the front of the car .

• Place a bucket under the water pump, as coolant will gush out when you remove it. Read the car manual to locate the pump.
• Get all your tools ready and have bags and a pen to hand for labelling and storing parts you remove from the engine.
• Make sure the engine is completely cool before you start.
• Put the engine in gear (to prevent it spinning when you’re removing the timing belt) and engage the handbrake.

Step 2: Removing the Belts
The fan belt and power steering belt sit beside the cover which houses the timing belt and water pump, so you’ll need to remove them first. Follow the steps below to remove the belts:

• Loosen the bolts which hold the alternator in position. Then tap it gently to loosen the fan belt so you can remove it.
• Do the same with the power steering belt, sliding the belt out of the way to get to the timing case and crankshaft pulley.
• Loosen the crankshaft pulley. You'll need a good long wrench arm to reach into the engine to loosen the bolt off.

Step 3: Removing the Timing Case

• Remove the motor mount brackets. 
• loosen the bolts or screws holding the upper timing cover in place.
• loosen a couple more bolts to remove the bottom timing case.

Step 4: Marking the Cogs

Before you loosen the pulley and remove the timing belt, it's a really good idea to mark the cogs with a little white paint, Tip-Ex or chalk. This will make reassembly much easier, as the cogs will need to realign perfectly to ensure good engine performance. Here are the areas you should mark:

• The top cam, making sure the paint mark lines up with the top of the cog and the gasket.
• The bottom cam, following the same process as above.
• The cogs so you'll be able to line things up correctly if anything slips when you remove the belt.

Step 5: Removing the Timing Belt
Loosen the middle tensioner cog in the middle of the timing configuration; it's smaller than the two cams and will have a bolt on it.

• As you're loosening the bolt, push down on the spring and move it downwards. Then, tighten the bolt to lock it in place. This will loosen the timing belt, allowing you to remove it.
• The belt should now have lost its tension and be easy to remove. Slide it out gently, being careful to avoid turning the cogs.

Step 6: Removing the Water Pump
Before you do this, make sure you have a bucket in place beneath the car to catch the coolant/antifreeze when you unscrew the water pump. Here's what to do:

• Loosen the bolts on the water pump a little at a time to slowly drain the coolant. Removing the bolts entirely could cause coolant to spray out violently, so go slow and give the system time to drain before you fully remove the pump.
• When the flow of coolant has slowed to a drip you can fully remove the bolts and take out the water pump.
• Remove the old gasket (the piece of metal which connects the water pump to the cylinder head). You may need to get a slot head screwdriver behind it to jimmy it out, or it might just slide out easily.

Tip – most new water pumps come with a gasket, so you don’t need to buy one separately.

Step 7: Reassembly

When you loosen the bolt on the tensioner (the middle cog you loosened and retightened to remove the timing belt) it will drop back into its original position, re-tensioning the new belt.

• Make sure the cogs still line up with the white marks you made earlier now the timing belt is in place and tight. You'll need to unscrew the tensioner and realign them while the belt is loose if they're a little off. Get them as close to the mark as you can.
• Now that the timing belt is back in place it's just a case of retracing your steps to connect the timing cover, crankshaft pulley, motor mount brackets and belts.

Tip:We'd always recommend replacing both components at the same time. 

Step 8: Refill the Cooling System

Remove the coolant/antifreeze cap and top up the reservoir to the max fill line.

• With the cap still removed, run the engine for around 5-10 minutes. This will expel any air from the system and make sure it is properly filled. This is an important step, so don't forget. If air pockets build in the cooling system, this could damage the new water pump you've just fitted-so make sure to run the engine for at least five minutes to expel any air.
• If the coolant/antifreeze level has dropped after running the engine, top it up before replacing the cap. And you're done!

Tip-Never run your car without first topping it up with good quality coolant/antifreeze. If you 'run dry' the cooling system, this could cause thermal shock and irreversible damage.

Remember-this is a guideline only and the layout/process of replacing the water pump and timing belt may differ in your car. Consult a professional mechanic if you're in doubt and only carry out the work if you're confident with working with engines.
