As an essential part of the cooling system, the water pump is subjected to a number of different daily stresses (e.g. wear, dirt, residue in the cooling circuit). Even under extreme conditions, the cooling system must be able to maintain the optimum operating temperature of the engine. With perfectly coordinated materials and the highest-quality components, INA water pumps guarantee a high degree of long-term reliability.
Features & Benefits:
The high-quality mechanical seal with the perfect material combination of silicon carbide + graphite guarantees optimum sealing behavior, high resistance to abrasive particles (dirt) in the cooling system, a high degree of wear resistance and resistance to thermal shocks
High-quality ball bearing designed for high loads
Perfect drainage
Additional Information About INA Water Pumps
Every belt driven water pump has a weep hole that might leak a little in the beginning. Some seepage from the weep hole is normal during the break-in period (about 10 minutes), and does not indicate a defect.
Cooling System Maintenance | Tips & Tools
Without regular maintenance, cooling system components will degrade and fail prematurely, which can lead to costly engine damage. Protect your engine with simple preventative maintenance:
Completely drain and flush the system using Cooling System Flush prior to installation. Flushing the system is critical to prevent system contamination and failure.
Consider replacing the Radiator Hoses (and Hose Clamps), Thermostat and Radiator Cap as part of routine preventative maintenance. System contamination can cause these parts to degrade and fail over time, which can lead to severe engine damage from overheating.
Refill radiator with fresh Coolant / Antifreeze according to the volume and formula specified in your Owner's Manual. Inspect levels and condition every year.
CAPA Certified or NSF Certified parts bear the seal of independent, third party organizations guaranteeing fitment and quality equal to original equipment. These parts may be required if your insurance company is paying for the repair.
