Water Pump

[Doodlebug]

Does anyone know how to tell if the waterpump on the IS200 is on its way out.

My water level does not go down and there is no real signs of the red coolant loss that I have seen on some members cars, however I do have a sort of squeeking noise from around the waterpump area although I am not sue exactly where it is coming from, it may even be from the power steering pump.

Any ideas or experiences anyone?

would check the belts first TBH as the sound can appear to come from somewhere else

Thanks for the reply Fluff, I will certainly check the belts. I know from previous cars sqeeks can appear to be in one area but the sound has travelled from another place, if that makes sense.

:D :D :D
