Mine lost water got hot. Fixed the water leak (fan switch retaining circlip corroded n popped) now it gets hot n dumps it water via pressure relief valve on header tank! I’m assuming that the hot coolantless engine has delaminates the impeller’s bond to the metal shaft! As I replaced the belt n pump 3 years ago with a Gates kit! Can’t remember if it was plastic. But assuming it is! Thank you for a informative video bud! It’s helped me greatly!!!
@@bradauto i had my cambelt/pump changed on a 13 plate it’s been almost 10 years and 78k miles. As the genuine pump lasted that long i had my mechanic replace with genuine belt kit and genuine pump. Hope i get that long out of this new one
2.0 TDI CAGC (120 PS), 517 000 km : ) Sometimes especially at traffic jam (randomly) engine is overheating (> 90) It could be water pump? Water pump has been changed about 70kkm ago
Make sure your cooling fan is cutting in - this is the only thing to cool your engine when stationary. If that’s ok flow check your radiator for blockages and make sure it’s outer fins are clear of dirt/leaves etc. How long ago was the pump replaced ? Time matters as well as distance
mine is a 2.0 tdi vw golf gtd, 170hp, and im guessing this is the problem, because somehow while running on normal straight roads or in the city it doesnt overheat, but if theres a long incline on the highway and only now in the summer, i saw the water temperature starting to raise over 90 degrees, the oil is overheating actually as it goes to 130 degrees and then the water temp starts to go over 90... and im getting a P0016(crankshaft position code) as a fault on the motor... does anyone have any reccomendations?
First thing is make sure radiator/cooling system isn’t clogged. Check the silica bags haven’t burst (in the expansion tank, I did a video about it) if the water pump is due for replacement then maybe look at that as it needs doing anyhow
@@bradauto Ive checked the hoses, they are all warm so im sure the system isnt clogged as i have changed the radiator because of a leak in an accident. I also changed the coolant at the time. After that i started to notice that the car is staying at like 75-ish degrees in the winter like if the thermostat would stay open all the time, and now in the summer everytime im visiting my grandma like 20 km away just up hill, the engine is already starting to overheat… idk its kind of strange. the fans are working, heating is working, water isnt overflowing or dissapearing, but honestly im scared of something happening if i was to go on a longer journey… timing belt and waterpump were replaced in 2021 and approx 60.000km ago.
@@xcLusiVe4You thermostat part seized? Half open half shut. Check that and make sure it hasn’t got a second one over by the gearbox (small in line one) - doesn’t sound like a pump fault as most replacements are cast (metal) impellers.
Mine went at 29000 miles, pretty poor from VW. Coolant light came on and then coolant started pissing out the bottom of the car under pressure until it was empty

Thank you very much.
This information is excellent, very helpful.
that have noise when rav ?
So do you not recommend replacing the water pump with a genuine vw one when it comes time fpr cambelt change
Absolutely not. Although it wouldn’t surprise me if vw the vw ones are modified now too.

@@bradautothanks ! 80 000 kilometers ago. 2 years ago
@@colorofroad9174 I’d say probably not the pump. Look at the easy stuff first 👍🏻
@@bradauto ok thanks!

Yeah that’s poor. How many years old was the car at that point?
If you own a Skoda Octavia get the water pump changed with a metal blade mine went at 40000 miles disappointing from Volkswagen
