Q: Does my water pump need to be replaced?
How can I tell if the water pump really needs to be replaced? Will it make some kind of noise when it goes bad? Or will the car just overheat? I bought the car in May 2016, I had a diagnostics done before I bought it and my mechanic said it possibly needed to be replaced soon, but didn't give any specifics.
My car has 100000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
