Re: Water Pump Life Expectancy?
Water pumps don't really have "life expecancies." They fail when they fail.
Re: Water Pump Life Expectancy?
Usually it's the seal that goes bad, and sometimes the bearing will go bad. I've seen some go bad with 30k or less, and others that make up to 300k, so yeah, as stated above, there's really no rhyme or reason to when one will fail.
