how can you tell if your water pump is on the way out , as when i first start up it makes a screeh sound
but ok alfter that . put new fan belt on but still the same .dont run hot .thanks.

is the belt tight enough???.....

yes thanks

dont know which engine but more likely the alternator, mine does it if belt is a touch slack , just on initial start up , have you p.a.s? they squeel as well

thanks mike ,i just took my fan belt of and i can move pump up and down and side to side , so i think it is the pump.

And it was still pumping and not leaking what engine you running

hello mike .1900 dg engine its not leaking and dont run hot . but we are going to cornwall in two
weeks and pulling a caravan so i dont think i will chance it , sods law it will go .
joys of loveing t25s .

You do right, nice for it to be spotted by choice as opposed to the often on the way out somewhere.,nice new belts and the old for spare gives a lot of piece of mind, I just rejoined the aa, reckon the £70 is well worth it.lol

good luck .john
