Water Pump Pulley Replacement & Labor Costs

What is a Water Pump Pulley?

A water pump pulley is an essential component in your vehicle's cooling system. It is part of the mechanism that drives the water pump, which is responsible for circulating coolant throughout the engine. Over time, the water pump pulley can wear out or become damaged, resulting in reduced engine cooling performance and potential overheating. Replacing a faulty water pump pulley ensures the proper functioning of your engine’s cooling system.
