Water Pump Replacement
Expert water pump replacement services in West Harting. Trust Southern VSR Ltd for reliable solutions.
A water pump circulates coolant through your engine and radiator to prevent overheating. Over time it can leak, seize, or wear out—so replacing it restores proper cooling and prevents serious engine damage.
If your engine’s pump is driven by the timing belt, the timing belt is usually replaced with the water pump because the pump sits behind the belt, so the belt must be removed anyway, and fitting a new one at the same time prevents future failure and avoids paying the same labour twice.
We use high quality Timing Kits to ensure long-lasting perfromance.
How Do I Know My Water Pump Needs Replacing?
Common signs include:
-Coolant leak at the front of the engine (often from a small “weep hole”)
-Overheating or fluctuating temperature gauge
-Grinding/whining noise from the pump bearing
-Steam or coolant smell
-Timing belt service due (many pumps are replaced at the same time)
Water Pump faults are often picked up on an MOT.
Why Is It Important To Fix A Leaking Water Pump?
A failed pump can cause overheating, which can lead to a blown head gasket or engine failure. Which are more expensive jobs.
What Is Included In A Timing Kit?
Timing kits include: Timing belt, Tensioner(s), Idler pulleys, Water pump, Bolts/seals
This ensures the whole system is renewed.
