How can you tell if you have a faulty water pump? I know one is leaking coolant... noise?
Cheers

Noise and bearing shaft play. Switch off motor and grab hold of fan blades and give them a jiggle. If you can move or rock pulley then you are facing problems. A series pumps can run loose for a while - they are quite resilient.
