How to replace the damaged water pump (Complete Guide) | Mahindra Scorpio |

Fixing a broken water pump can take anywhere from two hours to most of a day. A simple replacement should take around two hours, but more complicated work trying to fix a water pump (which will save you money on parts) can take four or more hours.


The average water pump replacement cost is Rs 7000, with prices ranging from Rs 5000 to Rs 7500 in India (Including spares) in 2022. But typically depends on the type of vehicle you drive and the auto repair shop you take it to. Labor costs are between Ra 2200 and Rs 2800 while parts cost between Rs 4200 and Rs 4800.


Is It Worth Fixing My Water Pump? Absolutely, unless your engine has significant damage from overheating. If your vehicle is in good shape and you plan to keep it on the road for a while, it is crucial that you get the water pump replaced as soon as possible in order to prevent much greater damage.


The pump is at the bottom of the cooling system, so you have to completely drain the system to remove the pump anyway. The only coolant that doesn't come out without some effort is in the block and it is not that much.


6 signs your water pump is failing ​

Coolant Leak. The water pump has several gaskets that can be damaged or worn out over time. ...

Engine Overheating. ...

High Pitched, Harmonic Whining Noises. ...

Water Pump Rust and Corrosion. ...

So when the water pump must be replaced, it is a good idea to go ahead and also replace the timing belt, timing belt tensioner and idler pulleys.


A dead or dying water pump cannot circulate coolant through your vehicle's engine and, as such, the engine will overheat. The hotter the engine gets the greater the chance of serious damage, including a cracked engine block and damage to the cylinders, pistons, and head gasket.


Follow these simple steps to replace the water pump of your car. Start with a completely cooled engine, then disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Drain the coolant into the sump by loosening the tap at the bottom of the radiator. Replacement pumps are usually supplied with gaskets required for operation.
