An overheating engine is not only a serious inconvenience; it is also a potentially devastating condition. Overheating can cause extensive and sometimes permanent damage to your engine, especially if you continue to drive with a faulty Acura Legend water pump. Your Legend water pump is an essential component of your vehicle’s cooling system.
The water pump is responsible for ensuring the continual movement of coolant through your engine and radiator, so that it can absorb heat from your engine and release it through your radiator. If your Acura Legend water pump is not working, the coolant is going to end up sitting in the tubes and passages of your engine gathering heat, until things get too hot to work.
One of the most obvious symptoms of a faulty Legend water pump is a sudden stream of coolant pouring from under your hood. This alarming flood is usually caused by the weep hole that is built in to your water pump, warning you that your seals are bad and about to let go.
Another problem with the Acura Legend water pump happens when the bearings become worn. This can be detected by pulling on the water pump pulley, which should not move at all. If the pulley is loose, your bearings are worn and you will need to replace your Legend water pump.
