Are Changan Kalam users in Pakistan doing enough preventive maintenance to avoid water pump failure?

Routine coolant flushes and inspections can help. Are drivers ignoring these practices due to lack of awareness o r cost concerns?

Generally, no — maintenance is often reactive, not preventive:

Most drivers don’t flush the coolant every 30,000–40,000 km as recommended.

Belts are rarely inspected unless they break o r slip.

Coolant level and quality checks are ignored during oil changes at local shops.

This leads to cumulative stress on the water pump and eventual failure, often during peak summer.
