Your Ford Taurus water pump is an essential part of your vehicle’s cooling system. Without it, your coolant would simply sit inside your engine gathering heat, until you ended up with a boiling radiator and a big, steaming mess. Overheating can do serious damage to your engine, so ensuring that your Taurus water pump is in good shape is essential to your vehicle’s long life.
The primary job of your water pump is to keep your coolant moving throughout your engine block and into and out of your radiator to exchange heat. Your Ford Taurus water pump is usually situated near your radiator, and may be buried beneath your timing cover. When there is a problem with your water pump, it will typically be due to either worn seals or worn bearings.
If the seals on your Taurus water pump begin to wear out, you may notice a stream of coolant pouring out from under your engine block. This is coming from the weep hole that is built in to your water pump to alert you when your seals are about to go. Worn bearings can be detected by pulling on your water pump pulley, which should not have any play at all. If your Ford Taurus water pump pulley moves around when it is pulled on, it is likely that your bearings are worn. In either case, you will need to replace your Taurus water pump.
