Is premature water pump failure in Changan Kalam related to a faulty timing belt o r serpentine belt in Pakistan?

If the belt is misaligned o r worn, it can affect the pump’s operation. Are local workshops checking belt health during regular service?

Yes, absolutely:

The serpentine belt drives the water pump in most Changan Kalam models.

If the belt is:

Loose

Worn o r glazed

Misaligned

Then the water pump can slip, seize, o r operate at lower efficiency.

Unfortunately, many Pakistani mechanics overlook belt health, tensioning, and alignment during regular services.
