2011 Chevrolet Cruze - Water Pump

Chevrolet Cruze Water Pump

The water pump on your Chevy Cruze is responsible for maintaining the flow of coolant and helps to keep your car at the optimum operating temperature. The water pump on your Cruze has an impeller inside the water channel attached to a pulley driven by the engine belt. Water pumps do wear out with time or the water pump gasket can fail. Signs the water pump in your Cruze may be failing include a coolant leak near the front center of the engine, excessive rust, or corrosion on the pump, a loose or squealing water pump pulley or bearing, or engine overheating. Any coolant loss can lead to engine overheating and engine damage in your Cruze. If your Chevy Cruze needs a replacement water pump, O'Reilly Auto Parts carries water pumps and other cooling system parts for your car so you can make a full repair.
