Coolant reservoir

6 Coolant pump -testing

1 A failure in the coolant pump can cause serious engine damage due to overheating.

2 With the engine running and warmed to normal operating temperature, squeeze the upper radiator hose. If the coolant pump is working properly, a pressure surge should be felt as the hose is released.

Warning: Keep hands away from fan blades.

3 Coolant pumps are normally equipped with weep or vent holes (see illustration 7.12). If a failure occurs in the pump seal, coolant will leak from this hole. In most cases it will be necessary to use a flashlight to find the hole
