Coolant leak or overheating engine? It might be your water pump. Learn the signs and why drivers across Newtownabbey and Belfast trust 1Stop Motor Shop to fix it fast.
Coolant leaking under your car? Noticed your engine overheating or a dashboard warning light? These are all signs of a coolant leak — and it could mean your water pump is failing.
At 1Stop Motor Shop in Newtownabbey, we recently fixed another coolant leak caused by a faulty water pump. If you’re based in Belfast or surrounding areas, it’s worth knowing the signs before it turns into a costly engine repair.
A coolant leak can come from cracked hoses, corroded pipes, a damaged radiator — but most commonly, it’s due to a worn or faulty water pump. This vital component keeps your engine temperature regulated. When it breaks down, coolant escapes, and your car is at risk of overheating.
We regularly see coolant leaks in our Newtownabbey garage, especially in older vehicles or those without regular servicing.
Not sure if it’s your water pump? Here’s what to look out for:
Bright green or pink liquid under your vehicle
High engine temperatures or dashboard warnings
Squeaking or whining sounds near the front of the engine
Steam from under the bonnet
Sweet smell while driving (a sign of coolant)
