MINI WATER PUMP FAILURES

The MINI Cooper is a an iconic luxury vehicle made by BMW, but it’s reputation is nothing but small. The MINI range is an extremely popular choice for those wanting a smaller premium vehicle, and with the options like the larger MINI Countryman or the sports model John Cooper Works (JCW) they have covered a broad range of customer needs.

The water pump is a crucial part of your engine, and keeps everything at a suitable temperature by circulating engine coolant from the radiator to stop the engine from overheating. A water pump failure is something that you will need to have looked at right away, as you should not let your car get too hot. Symptoms of a pump failure could include leaks, whining noises, overheating or visible steam from the engine.

Leaks

If you have noticed any coolant leaking from your car, then you should get it looked at right away. There is a chance it could be the water pump, or may just be a seal or tube. Either way, it is not a problem that should be left unresolved.

Whining Noises

Whining, groaning, whirring or grinding noises can indicate a number of problems, but it may trace back to your water pump. Your vehicle may still be able to be driven, but we suggest getting it checked out right away.
