i replaced my water pump and then after i got it installed it started making making a weird noise and i cant tell if its the belt or the pump and the the car runs just as good as it did before so really its not hurting anything but its really annoying

i have a video if you want to see what im talking about

(if the link dont work let me know)
if anyone has any idea please share it

Sounds like a water pump with no water... but I'm sure you would know by now if you forgot to refill the radiator.

I have to agree with Johnnyboy!

A few questions!
Is the waterpump belt driven? If so how much flex is in the belt?
Does the pump have a bleed screw to release the air? This would cause the no coolant in the pump.
have you removed the belt and rotated the pump by hand to see if the impeller is rubbing the housing?

well my water pump is powered by the timing belt

and the timing belt has the right amont of play in it i had that checked already

there isnt a bleed screw and it might be rubbing inside idk and i dont have the tools to take it all apart to check right now

but thanks for your relpys so far

i figured it out it


the timing belt is bad

You tore it apart and put a pump in it and did not replace the timing belt while you was there?

I think everybody took for granted you had replaced it with a new belt and dismissed that as a cause.

Glad you figured it out!

its not an old timing belt i had replaced it only this last summer

and my car is really easy to change timing belts
