Colorado Springs’ Top Choice for Water Pump Replacement
The water pump is key to your vehicle’s engine health. Serving Colorado Springs, CO, Express Auto Repair specializes in trusted water pump replacement services that keep your engine cool and running strong. Whether your water pump is wearing out or you need a timing belt service, our expert technicians have you covered.
What is a Water Pump and What Does It Do?
The water pump is a key part of your vehicle’s cooling system, circulating coolant through the engine and radiator to regulate temperature and prevent overheating. Usually located at the front of the engine, the water pump is driven by the timing belt or serpentine belt, depending on your vehicle’s design.
As the engine runs, the water pump keeps the coolant moving through the engine block, absorbing heat and transferring it to the radiator for cooling. This process is essential for maintaining the right engine temperature and avoiding overheating.
When Does Your Water Pump Need Replacement?
Water pumps wear out over time, with seals and bearings becoming less effective, which can lead to leaks or failure. Here are common signs your water pump may need replacement:
Coolant Leaks
A noticeable coolant leak near the front of your vehicle is a clear sign it’s time to check your water pump.
Overheating
Consistent engine overheating may be due to a failing water pump not circulating coolant effectively.
Unusual Noises
A high-pitched whining sound from the front of the engine could indicate worn water pump bearings.
Steam from the Radiator
Steam from the radiator often points to an overheating engine caused by a malfunctioning water pump.
Water pump replacement is often recommended alongside timing belt replacement since they are closely linked. Replacing both together can save time and reduce overall costs.

FAQs About Water Pump Replacement
How often should a water pump be replaced?
Water pumps typically last between 60,000 to 100,000 miles. It’s often recommended to replace the water pump when the timing belt is replaced.
Can I drive with a bad water pump?
Driving with a failing water pump is risky and can lead to engine overheating and serious damage. It’s best to address the issue as soon as possible.
What’s the difference between a timing belt and a water pump?
The timing belt synchronizes the engine’s functions, while the water pump circulates coolant. They often work together, which is why they are sometimes replaced simultaneously.
