Noisey water pump

[marc69]

The water pump on my 1.0 Nova has become fairly noisey so I assume I need a new one however, it is really cold here and it is not loosing water etc yet.

Do folk reckon although it's noisey it will go on for a week or two or do they suffer massive failure? The only one (apart from me damaging one) that I had to replace was leaking water.

Thanks

I was driving an old jag back from an mot and I noticed the temp was going up so I nursed it home as I couldn't give a fuck and got it back and opened the bonnet and the drive belt had disaapeared lol the waterpump had seized and couldn't be turned by hand

Good work
How long do you get for your lunch hour?

Maybe as long as he needs lol Is the timing belt connected to the water pump on the 1.0 engines?

[marc69]

1 hour, the pump sits exposed on the side of the head with three hoses and just the fan belt running it, great engines! You can change the thremostat with just one screwdriver.
