What is a Car Water Pump?
A vehicle’s water pump is a belt-driven pump that derives its power from the engine’s crankshaft. Designed as a centrifuge, the water pump draws the cooled fluid through the pump’s center inlet from the radiator.
It then circulates the fluid outward into the engine and back into the car’s cooling system.
