The water pump is a component in a vehicle's cooling system that circulates the coolant through the engine to keep it cool. Its main function is to transfer the hot coolant from the engine to the radiator, where it can be cooled down, and then back to the engine again.
It's important to note that a faulty water pump can cause the engine to overheat, which can lead to engine damage. It's recommended to have the water pump replaced if you notice any signs of overheating, such as a high temperature gauge, steam from under the hood, or a warning light on the dashboard.
It's also important to use the correct type of water pump for your vehicle as specified in the vehicle's manual or by the water pump manufacturer.
