The water pump and belt spins quietly at the front of the engine, turning the vanes of the water pump. In turn, water is pushed through the engine block and its cooling galleries, carrying away heat and cooling the engine. The water pump belt may be driven by the timing belt, and its function may also be included as part of an engine's serpentine drive belt. Your water pump belt can last up to 100,000 miles with proper maintenance.
Without the water pump, your engine coolant would quickly evaporate as the engine begins to overheat, leaving you with a seized engine. When you’re driving, listen for any unusual sounds, like whining and grinding, from the area of the water pump. If you hear them, then it is likely the water pump needs to be replaced. If you replace the water pump, the belt should be replaced as well.
