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

If it fails when your out & about you risk it over heating then you will be freezing yer bollocks off doing a head gasket

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 the waterpump had seized and couldn't be turned by hand

Bearings can be knackered... Doesn't men it has to leak.

Did it in my lunch hour, I enjoy how most things on the 1.0 are so easy, test drive later tonight.

Had a noisy pump on my Omega V6, it was noisy for 2 days then failed, big time
Luckily stopped before it overheated

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

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.
