Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I keep driving with a failing water pump?
A failing pump can lead to overheating, coolant loss, and severe internal engine damage. Immediate inspection is the safest option.

How long does a water pump normally last?
Many pumps last 60,000 to 100,000 miles, but lifespan varies based on driving habits, coolant quality, and vehicle design.
