Some car enthusiasts ask: Can the car's water pump still be turned on if it's broken? Today I will talk to you about these issues, hoping to be helpful to you.
Let's first understand the function of the car engine water pump. As we all know, the engine temperature cannot be too high during normal driving. Excessive temperature can cause poor oil lubrication, increase engine wear, and shorten engine service life. Therefore, the role of the car cooling system is crucial. There are many cooling water circulation channels inside the engine block, which are connected to the water tank through water pipes, forming a cooling water circulation system. At the upper outlet of the engine, a water pump is installed, which is driven by the engine belt to pump out the hot water in the engine block channel and pump in the cold water, allowing the cooling water inside the engine to circulate. The cooling water is then dissipated through the radiator, stabilizing the engine temperature within a certain range. This is the function of the car water pump, which is also one of the working principles of the car cooling system.
From the above, we know that the function of a car water pump is to circulate coolant from the engine to the radiator. If the car water pump breaks down and continues to run, the consequences will be very serious. Generally, if a water pump is damaged, it is due to damage to the bearings or sealing rings. A damaged bearing can produce abnormal noise, and a damaged sealing ring can lead to leakage of cooling water. The first thing to be damaged is the timing belt (which has been damaged by water bubbles). Once the timing belt is damaged, the engine is prone to knocking the valve and can no longer start. The consequence of frequent ignition is that the engine needs to be disassembled for repair.
Can the car water pump still be turned on if it leaks? If the water pump leaks, it will cause a decrease in coolant and an increase in engine temperature; If the water pump is broken and does not circulate, it will cause the temperature of the water tank to be too high, the cooling water will not circulate, and the cooling fan will not work. In severe cases, the cooling water will immediately evaporate and the engine temperature will be too high. At this time, stepping on the accelerator will make you feel weak, and the engine will burn red. If the water pump is not working properly, the coolant cannot circulate in the engine for heat exchange, and the engine heat cannot be discharged, it will also cause the engine temperature to rise. If the water pump is damaged and not working, it will cause the engine to boil, and if not treated early, it will cause the engine to burst. Excessive engine temperature can decrease the lubricating ability of the engine oil, leading to increased wear and tear of the components. If the temperature reaches a certain value, it can cause serious faults such as engine cylinder pulling or tile burning, ultimately leading to engine burnout and scrapping.
