WIRED 26

Leaking seals are the largest cause of pump failure, so it is important to inspect the cooling system for the presence of abrasive particles and other corrosive contaminants, flushing and refilling with the correct specification coolant as necessary. To prevent damaging the new water pump seals, make sure that the engine is filled with coolant to the correct level before starting the engine. To prevent potential damage from thermal shock, allow the engine to warm until the

coolant has fully circulated through the radiator and all air is bled from the system. Lastly, inspect for any leaks and make a final check of the coolant level before releasing the vehicle to your customer.
