Suddenly coolant came pouring out the bottom of the car and metal round berrings are all over the floor. Car barley ran and smoke kept pluming out the rear exhaust.<br /><br />My question is does the water pump have bearings in it and what else could have got fubared up while letting the car run. only ran a couple min. Haven't jacked up the car yet wanted to get a little advice first.<br /><br />Previsouly before this happened the car was make a loud squealing noise from the motor compartment and would stutter when pushing the gas. My hope is the water pump was siezing out and now it finally took a shit on me. Anyone hear of this?<br /><br />Regards,<br />Merry Christmas.<br /> <br /> <small>[ January 04, 2011, 11:56 AM: Message edited by: Jdub07 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>hatch will never be banned</b> <br /><small>Member # 7277</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,11,24,15,49,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> yes water pump have bearing in them<br />an when you remove it it would be a good idea to check all of the pulleys for noise <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Jdub07</b> <br /><small>Member # 2728</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,11,24,16,2,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> ok jackesd the car up and see lots of fluid.
