Pontiac Phoenix Water Pump

The Water Pump in Pontiac Phoenix vehicles is responsible for circulating coolants via the engine's water jacket where it is tasked the duty of absorbing heat resulting from combustion then transfer this heat to the radiator. Conventionally these pumps are driven by a belt usually engaging the crankshaft, however increasing use of electric water pump is seen in recent designs. Previous Pontiac Phoenix water pumps had been constructed with cast iron but modern ones are primarily made of aluminum casts which are lighter and more efficient. High performance water pumps can be procured helping in the forging of cooler flow dramatically; the product is suitable for street/mildly built engines as well as high performance racing engines. These can range from modifications of OE cast iron designs to brand new custom aluminum units with electric models bringing in the advantages such as low parasitic loss and variable coolant circulation depending on the engine temperature.

Pontiac Phoenix Water Pump Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q: What are the ways to check the operation of a water pump and what are the signs of water pump failure on Pontiac Phoenix?
    A: A failure in the water pump can cause serious engine damage due to overheating as the pump will not be able to circulate cooled water through the engine. There are three ways to check the operation of the water pump while it is still installed on the engine and if the pump is suspect, it should be replaced with a new or factory rebuilt unit. With the engine warmed up to normal operating temperature, squeeze the upper radiator hose. If the water pump is working properly, a pressure surge should be felt as the hose is released. Water pumps are equipped with weep or vent holes, if a failure occurs to the bladder of the pump, small amounts of water will leak from these weep holes. In most cases, it will be necessary to use a flashlight from under the car to see evidence from this point in the pump body. If the water pump shaft bearings fail there may be a squealing sound at the front of the engine while it is running. Shaft wear can be felt if the water pump pulley is forced up and down. Do not mistake drivebelt slippage, which also causes a squealing sound, for water pump failure.
