Your water pump is probably good if it isn't leaking or squealing or shuddering. Trust me they can. Make sure you have a good 50/50 anti freeze mix. Something else you can do is take the car down to the car wash and using rinse only power wash the exterior of the radiator. My 92 Buick was overheating and I was surprised when I washed out the radiator fins. Ran dirty water for 10 minutes, I lived on a dirt road at the time. It runs alot happier. Something else, if your car has an electric cooling fan the temp switch on the radiator may not be working or the fan. Turning on the A.C. should turn on the fans on most cars. Next time you run hot open the hood and see if the fan(s) are turning.

This question sounds dirty. The first thng is that if u are checking out ur car, u need to get laid. 2nd, if u decide to bang ur car, u don't have to worry cuz u changed the hoses. she cant get pregnant now. 3rd, if ur radiator is leaking, i would see a doctor. good thing it isnt. 4th, if ur oil isnt milky, u need to get a sperm count check. this might also help u find out if ur water pump is bad lol. do u still empty ur water pump every day?
if water pump start leaking , it needs replacement.

did you check that the fan is working , if its automatic , electrical connection might be loose
if the diaphram goes out it will pee water somewhere under it on the block..there'll be a stain..or you'll see it leaking... or take it to a mech...
Hold on there Maverick!

Before you go running into any more furniture, What model, make, year, engine size. Lets approach this logically, it saves money and effort.



We can make ignorant guesses all night but that won't help you.
how can you tell if you water pump is bad un hook the hose thats on the pump and some thing to catch the coolient and start the car if coolient flows freely and also chech the air hole on the water pump and see if you see any coolient coming out if it flows frely and no coolient can be seen comming out the air hole on the pump then your problem lies else where if the block was crack or the head your engine would still drink coolient so there it would still be milky try checking you electric fan and your coolint temp sensor
How old is the car? Radiators can and do fill up with sediment over time.
if you had work done on the car it could be an air lock in the heater core. try bringing the car to operating temp and turn the heater on then squeeze the hoses with the rad cap off (leave the cap while it warms up if you don't want to be burned.). you could also try puting the car on a incline and decline and doing the same thing. when you do that you have to make sure that the thermostat has opened otherwise you may not have much luck.
one time I had this problem. it turned out that the seal between the engine block (lower part of engine) and the engine head (upper part of engine) was so old and deteriorated the it was leaking both oil and antifreeze so because the engine didn't get enough lubrication from the oil it got too hot and there wasn't enough antifreeze to cool it off, it finally got way too hot and busted the gasket totally and so the car had to be towed. It's not a good thing to let go on like that. If you know a good reliable %26quot;shade tree mechanic%26quot; he can try the following things and shouldn't cost you as much as a shop would charge:

1. have him go to a salvage yard and get a used water pump and see if when he replaces yours that it solves the problem....if not,

2. have him take off the engine head and replace the head gasket.



One or the other should do it. Good Luck!
The best and easiest way to see if water pump is operating correctly is to take off the radiator cap, start engine and see if water is moving through the radiator. You should be able to see the water anti-freeze flowing through the radiator. Give it about five minutes running you should know by then.
