Driving with a faulty water pump can cause serious long-term engine damage. The water pump’s primary role is to circulate coolant through the engine to maintain optimal operating temperature. Without proper coolant circulation:

Overheating: Can lead to warped engine components like the cylinder head and block.
Severe engine damage: Prolonged overheating may cause gasket failure, cracked engine components, o r even complete engine failure.
What to watch out for: Overheating indicators temperature gauge, coolant leaks, and unusual noises.
