Characteristics of Water Pump Seal Must Be Replaced, Don't Wait Until It Is Severe

Sciipy -  The motor with the engine using a radiator is obliged to know the schedule for replacing the seal water pump. As is known together the function of the seal water pump is no less important than the cooling system of the radiator model. Don't want anything to happen while driving? Make sure you check the sealed water pump regularly when servicing regularly to the workshop.

Quoted from Otomania.com, the main function of the seal water pump is to prevent radiator water or coolant located in the water pump house from mixing with engine oil. When screwing the motor and it is known that the seal water pump is worn out, it means that it needs to be replaced immediately. Make sure not to be late in replacing the water pump seal because it will cause more severe damage to two-wheeled vehicles, ranging from uneven gear changes to the appearance of noise on the engine.

If the water pump seal starts to be weak or even torn, then the radiator water will seep into the oil bath and eventually mix. If this is the case, then there is no other choice but to change the oil. So that the motorbike does not already experience severe damage due to the worn water seal, look at the two symptoms that are signs that the seal water pump needs to be replaced immediately so that the motor is not seriously damaged.

1. Overheating Indicator Lights Up

One of the characteristics of a damaged water pump seal is that the radiator water or coolant seeps. On Yamaha V-Ixion model motorcycles, usually, the radiator water or coolant goes directly down the oil tube. If left unattended for a long time, as a result, the radiator water or coolant will run out which makes the motor engine easy to heat or overheat. When the motor engine is hot, then the overheating indicator light usually turns on. If the color changes like the color of milk coffee, it can be ascertained that the indicator water or coolant seeps and mixes with oil. For those of you who have a motor whose engine uses a radiator, you must know the signs that the water pump seal must be replaced. Because the water pump seal is very important in the cooling system of the radiator model.

2. Squeaky Sound

Some motors will make a squeaking sound when the seal water pump shows signs of needing to be replaced. The sound appears due to friction between the axle of the water pump fan and the water pump seal. If the sound arises, it is better to immediately take the motorbike to the nearest repair shop to get treatment immediately. If left unattended, the worry is that it can cause the water pump seal to be in the shape of a dent or abnormal which makes the radiator water seep or leak.

On the inside of the water pump, there are blades or water pump fans that function to facilitate the circulation of radiator water or coolant. The fan is driven by an axle connected to a centric gear. But some motors have axles of the water pump fan driven directly by the axle crutches. So make sure that between the axle of the water pump fan and the water pump seal, it does not experience extreme friction so that it makes a squeaking sound. Another characteristic of a weak or torn water pump seal besides causing a thudding sound is the shift between the teeth that is less smooth or more difficult than usual.

If these two symptoms appear on a two-wheeled vehicle, you should immediately check your motorbike at the nearest repair shop so that it is comfortable when driving as well as for the safety of the driver's life. The state of a fit bike will certainly give confidence when riding it, right?
