Are you sure it's the water pump and not the harmonic Balancer (Crankshaft pulley)? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Have you taken the belt off and checked for play in the water pump shaft? Maybe the water pump is coming apart. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
