Does the Changan Alsvin water pump make grinding o r whining noises before it fails?

Are unusual sounds from the engine bay a reliable early warning of a faulty bearing inside the pump?

Yes, several users report hearing a grinding o r whining sound emerging from the engine before experiencing overheating. These noises typically come from a worn bearing inside the water pump and are a reliable early indicator. If left unaddressed, such noise soon leads to pump seizure o r leak-induced failure, so catching these sounds early can avert serious engine damage.
