How can Pakistani Changan Kalam users identify early signs of a faulty water pump before major engine damage occurs?

Coolant leakage, whining noises, and engine temperature rise are early indicators. Are owners and mechanics catching these symptoms early enough?

Key early warning signs include:

Coolant leaks near the front of the engine especially near the water pump pulley.

Whining o r grinding noise from the pump bearing area.

Engine overheating, especially at idle.

Visible rust o r coolant crust near the water pump vent hole.

Low coolant level without visible external leak, which may indicate internal seepage.

Many mechanics in Pakistan don’t check these signs during routine inspections, so car owners should stay alert.
